Petition Asks P&G To End Olympic Sponsorship

WCBE 90.5FM | By Jim Letizia
Published August 13, 2013 at 6:37 AM EDT

An online petition is urging Cincinnati-based Procter and Gamble to pull its sponsorship from next year's Winter Olympics. Gay-rights activists are leading the push for a boycott on the website change-dot-org, saying Russia has a repressive, anti-gay culture. P-and-G is an official sponsor of the Olympics through 2020. The company has yet to comment.
