This past offseason was a big one for Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald after winning the first Super Bowl of his career.

Donald contemplated retirement although ultimately decided to return to the Rams, coming to an agreement on a new record-breaking contract.

In addition to his new contract with the Rams, Donald signed with Kanye West’s Donda Sports to represent him both on and off the field.

Unfortunately, West has been the subject of controversy lately after some anti-Semitic remarks against Jewish people. That has led many of West’s sponsors such as Adidas to drop him from their roster.

Additionally, Donda Sports athletes are beginning to leave the company as well with Donald being the latest:

It’s good to see Donald taking a stand and not tolerating the type of hate that West has been spewing lately. Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown also announced that he is leaving Donda Sports, putting out a similar statement to Donald.

Now that Donald’s contract with the Rams is done, it will be interesting to see if he hires a new agent or just represents himself moving forward.

Either way, it doesn’t seem that this Donda Sports situation will be a distraction for Donald and the Rams on the field moving forward now that he has parted ways with the company.

The Rams currently sit at 3-3 and will look to turn things around against the San Francisco 49ers this weekend coming out of their bye.
