That's why she ended up signing a deal with Adidas
Before Beyoncé became the new Queen of Athletic Wear over at Adidas, as was announced yesterday, she was courted by a number of brands. Jordan, Under Armour, and Reebok all had meetings with the pop star before she eventually partnered with the three stripes. Now, its been reported that the reason Reebok lost out on the disposable income of Hive members is because of a humiliating lack of a diversity in their pitch meeting.
According to ESPNs Nick DePaula, Beyoncé went into a meeting with Reebok in good faith. She sat through their entire pitch presentation before stopping the proceedings and asking if the team before her would be the same group working with her on the partnership. When somebody answer yes, according to DePaula, she responded, Nobody in this room reflects my background, my skin color, and where Im from and what I want to do.' At that point, the deal was pretty much shot.
Howre you gonna invite a gottdam queen into your offices and not have a single black person sitting in the room with her? I mean, the woman wrote friggin Formation!
Regardless of who was responsible for completely missing the mark, Reeboks loss was Adidas gain, as theyve added another megastar to their roster. In addition to developing new footwear and apparel with the company, Beyoncé plans to use the partnership to relaunch her Ivy Park brand.

The article is pure gibberish. It is submerged in its own identity nonsense.
So, what she’s saying is that the color of someone means everything and their abilities don’t matter. Got it.
How dare they not have enough blacks in the room!
P.S. Saw it posted somewhere else that Beyonce said this was not true..
Meh, who cares anyway.
One day she’ll be kicking herself in the butt for not accepting the deal. There will come a time when she’ll be obsolete like most of these artist’s become, and she’ll be begging for someone to hire her for a gig.
This crap is getting SO TIRESOME!
Well of course she's going to deny it. Can't look like the racist she is.
Oprah still (amazingly!) has a magazine. Send her rich, fat butt over there!
so find someone that’s not a Racist
Oops! I read ‘Redbook’ not ‘Reebok!’ Never mind, LOL!

I cant here it. Hell, I cant even hear it.
Queen of Athletic Wear? What sport does she play?
But I thought all the “enlightened ones” tell us that race, gender, sexual preferences, height, weight, language, age, type of house we live in, type of car we drive, food we eat, doesn’t matter...
Isn’t that what the “enlightened ones” say????
Diversity is weakness.
Unity is strength.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry is an accuser, judge, jury and executioner social justice warrior. How do these ego inflated heads ever fit through any doors? What absolutely bizarre times we are going through with these me, me, me holier than thou goof balls.
IOW she’s a racist.
Ironic since Beyonce is turning whiter and whiter.
Whoopty doo....
Lol
