Lacrosse Equipment Company Finds Itself In Hot Water After Questionable Slogan

Warrior Lacrosse, one of the sport's preeminent equipment companies, recently ran a promotion in which it gave away pairs of its Dojo shoes to people who used the hashtag "Ninja Please."

The marketing campaign is not sitting well with everyone in the lacrosse world. Jovan Miller, a midfielder on the Charlotte Hounds and one of just three African-Americans playing Major League Lacrosse, said that he is boycotting Warrior products because of it.

"The actual meaning behind 'Ninja Please' is the 'N-word Please,'" Miller told WCNC. "They put ninja in it to kind of disguise it."
