- World Curling Federation takes action ‘to avoid distractions’
- EasyToys logo in Dutch event led to US and Japan blackouts
Adverts for a sex toy website that featured at a Winter Olympics curling qualifying tournament will be removed from the ice after they led to a US livestream blackout.
Erotic website EasyToys and the World Curling Federation (WCF) said on Friday that they have reached a deal to resume live streaming to the US and Japan, with the ads replaced by the statement “#equalityforall.” Broadcasters in both nations had decided that references to the company were too racy for the intended audience.
