Overwatch League Faces Fallout From Activision Blizzard's Harassment Issues

In further fallout from the controversy over claims of sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard, Coca-Cola and State Farm are reportedly "revisiting" their sponsorship of the Overwatch League and Call of Duty League, Activision Blizzard's e-sports leagues. According to the Washington Post, the two sponsors are "re-evaluating their support" of the competition as a result of a lawsuit from regulators. The two sponsors might not be the only ones pulling away from the league; apparently, T-Mobile's branding has also been pulled from the Overwatch League and Call of Duty League broadcasts.
