YORK Athletics, a unisex performance footwear brand, announced a partnership with World Champion gymnast and advocate Aly Raisman, who now joins the company’s roster of brand ambassadors of trainers, teachers, creatives and entrepreneurs to kick-off YORK’s “Worth the Fight” campaign, a movement “to inspire the spirit to fight for your best life.” “I am really excited about the opportunity to partner with YORK Athletics and be a part of the ‘Worth the Fight’ campaign,” said Raisman. “YORK is passionate about encouraging people to be their best self while also looking out for one another and inspiring communities to band together. I am trying to fight not only for my friends and the people that I know, but for the people that I don’t know as well because I want to encourage everyone to speak their truth. I believe we all have the ability to make a difference and we are all worth the fight.” The NFL added another UK initiative designed to use American football to create “life-changing educational and professional opportunities for young people.” The NFL Academy will begin operations in September 2019 and offer student athletes aged 16-18 the opportunity to combine education with life skills and intensive training in the sport under full-time professional coaches.
