The former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver then confirmed that he wouldn't end his association with Donda Sports and will continue supporting West: "As the President of Donda Sports, I remain. I remain true to the mission of Donda and our amazing staff and community. I remain dedicated to helping clarify statements taken out of proportion by the media.
