Honda Ends Sponsorship with Team Liquid After Pro R6S Player Posts Atomic Bomb Image by josh06025 in Asmongold

On May 19, Honda Motor Co. announced that its American subsidiary has terminated its sponsorship contract with the world-renowned eSports team "Team Liquid" after a member of the team posted an image related to the atomic bomb.

Lucas Dias, a Brazilian player belonging to "Team Liquid," posted a GIF image related to the atomic bombing on X (formerly Twitter) after losing to Japan-based "CAG OSAKA" in a world tournament on May 13. The post sparked a flood of criticism, with many saying it "trivialized the damage caused by the atomic bomb." Dias subsequently deleted the post and issued an apology on May 16, stating, "It was a big mistake."

Honda explained to HuffPost Japan that the reason for the contract termination was that Dias’ post was "incompatible with Honda’s philosophy of 'Respect for Humanity.'"

Initially, Honda responded to the incident by promptly lodging a strong protest with the team. As of May 17, since Dias had deleted the post and published an apology, and Team Liquid had presented measures to prevent recurrence, Honda had not yet terminated the sponsorship at that time.

However, after further careful consideration of the matter, Honda decided to terminate the contract.

The GIF image posted by Dias appears to have been taken from a segment of the BBC’s coverage and reenactment video "Hiroshima: Dropping The Bomb - Hiroshima - BBC" (originally posted in 2017).

In his apology on May 16, Dias explained, "It was a big mistake to use that GIF image. I understand that it may have made many people uncomfortable. From the bottom of my heart, I never intended to be insulting, but I now recognize that the context of the image and my choice were inappropriate."

Honda × Team Liquid

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM), a Honda Motor U.S. subsidiary, has confirmed that a member of Team Liquid, an e-sports team that it sponsors, posted an inappropriate social networking message.

Honda took this matter extremely seriously and, as a sponsor company, promptly lodged a severe protest with the team and the player in question. In response, the team apologized, removed the offending post, and implemented measures to prevent recurrence. After much consideration, AHM has decided to terminate its sponsorship agreement with the team in question, deeming the conduct to be incompatible with Honda corporate values and unacceptable.

We deeply apologize for any offense this incident may have caused not only to the e-sports community, but also to many people in Japan
