 Roxy Affiliates sponsorship suspendedAs many of you know, the affiliate community has voiced significant concerns regarding the recent conduct of Roxy Affiliates. The GPWA decided Wednesday to suspend Roxy Affiliates' sponsorship agreement. The suspension comes after a series of interactions which we were hoping would resolve the issue. Unfortunately, we don't feel the spirit of our prior discussions with Roxy Affiliates is being honored. Accordingly, we have suspended Roxy Affiliates as a sponsor. We remain committed to continued discussions with Roxy Affiliates in an effort to reach a better resolution.
