Really sorry to hear this. It sure seems like most brands can't commit beyond a marketing budget cycle.
I once had a dream about you doing a GoFundMe for "Get Devon to WS", where everyone got their name on your race shirt for donating $30, and a few people paid big bucks to get on the front of the shirt, the hat, etc. with a mantra or picture. But your vibe was the best part, this "Sponsored by Believers" kind of thing. It felt very Devon. 😍🙌
You both are going to make me cry again (but gratitude tears). I did put up some options for ways people can support me on Instagram. I would happily rock a "Sponsored by Believers" shirt (or whatever fun mantra people decided).
Big companies expect loyalty, full commitment, but do not return it in kind. I am sure there are exceptions, but the rules seem to bent toward the business. Sorry to hear about your drop.

I kinda was wondering the same thing - could she be “sponsored” by all her fans somehow? 🤔🤷♀️ this sucks and has got to hurt terribly.

Btw, looks like Salomon dropped all but one of their USA team as well.
I’m really sorry for what you’re going through. It seems unfair and very difficult. It would be great to see you race Western. Good luck.
Your voice is important and powerful. I appreciate you!
I am sorry this is happening to you and can't imagine how bad your current situation feels. I hope things turn around soon!
Sending love and peace to you.

I’m so sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, corporate protocols are generally without warning and unfeeling (aka feels cold AF).
Don’t internalize that part. You are NOT unworthy.
