The National Football League on Thursday responded to a recent report that pointed out its ads were placed on white nationalist feeds on Elon Musk's social media platform, X.
"NFL unequivocally denounces any form of hate speech and has absolutely no association with these individuals or any group that promotes racism," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk.
The NFL did not indicate if they would pull ads from the platform, or if X would remove the ads from the white nationalist accounts.
Media Matters found five white nationalist accounts, with a total of 1 million followers, where NFL ads appeared.
Yaccarino struggled to answer key questions regarding company matters, including hate speech and antisemitism, at Vox Media's 2023 Code Conference on Wednesday.
