Struggling WWE/NXT wrestler getting his Juicy Smollett on. Tries to lie about a T-Shirt

NXT’s Jordan Myles calls on fans to protest WWE for racially insensitive shirt, Vince McMahon and Triple H tagged in tweets
Myles tweeted a photo of the shirt on Sunday saying, “I will keep posting this till my voice is heard. I’m not sorry for anything I say or do. Representation is important. If this is [Vince McMahon] & [Triple H]’s “vision” of me then this is a slap in the face to EVERY African American performer, fan, and supporter.”
and hours later the truth came out. yet another lame attempt of desperately wanting to be the victim,
WWE released the following statement on the matter:
“Albert Hardie Jr. (aka Jordan Myles) approved this t-shirt for sale. As always, we work collaboratively with all of our performers to develop logos and merchandise designs and get their input and approval before proceeding. This was the same process with Albert, and we responded swiftly once he later requested that the logo/t-shirt be redesigned. No t-shirts were sold.”

If this had never happened before, people would believe the WWE, but it has happened recently with other superstars such as Becky Lynch’s Lass Kicker.

Holy shite, he had to dig deep here to try unsuccessfully manufacture outrage.

The NXT wrestler’s frustration is due to the combination of a black shirt, red lips and white teeth looking similar to racist blackface and “Sambo” imagery used to put down African Americans.

Well at least he wasn’t involved with Mae You g and saw her give “birth” to a hand

Damn, that is digging deep.

This guy is really reaching on this. The book Little Black Sambo was written in the 1800’s. Lawn Jockeys have been gone from modern society for a over half a century. I know some rare houses probably had them later but they were almost never seen when I was growing up in the 60-70’s.

I would never have gotten Sambo from that had the article not spelled it out. I just thought it was a shitty t shirt design.

Isn't Sambo from India anyway?

Probably not the best way to stay employed.

I know people who have them. A few of them are white now, though.

He will fit right in at AEW with this massive victim complex.
Of course all the reddit liberals on /r/squaredcircle are white knighting for this guy and attacking WWE/Vince/HHH as full throated racists. AKA just another day on /r/squaredcircle.
