Tottenham Hotspur: Malicious on Twitter from sponsor Dulux

London –

The paint manufacturer Dulux apologized on Thursday (April 15) for malicious comments about the English first division soccer team Tottenham Hotspur – just hours after the announcement of a sponsorship deal with the Spurs.

• Tottenham Hotspur agrees on sponsorship deal with Dulux
• The paint manufacturer then makes fun of the Londoners on Twitter
• The company apologized and announced an investigation

The company’s Twitter account had made fun of the recent poor performance and decades of unsuccessfulness of the London club.

Sponsor Dulux makes fun of Tottenham Hotspur

The dog that Dulux uses as a trademark would make a better central defender than the current players, it was said, for example, in response to a comment by a Twitter user. When asked to paint the trophy cabinet, the reaction from another user was: “Surfaces have to be dust-free before they can be painted.”

The company deleted the tweets. “We are terribly sorry for the contributions from Dulux this morning in response to the announcement of our relationship with @SpursOfficial,” the manufacturer said.

“This doesn’t reflect how proud we are to be the club’s official paint supplier. We are investigating what happened and we apologize to all Spurs fans. “(Dpa)
