Pride month is officially here and more brands than ever before are being vocal about supporting LBGTQ communities. Companies can no longer afford to be silent about civil rights, be it the Black Lives Matter movement or transgender rights. While Pride month is traditionally a time of celebration and parades, rainbow-themed fashion and accessories have been receiving less attention this year when so much of Pride is centered around live events. With no gatherings to post content about, corporate sponsors have had to channel – and market – their resources elsewhere. Even the hashtag #pride has dropped by a colossal 80 percent for 50 large fashion brands tracked by Tribe…

Mark Webber says the fight for the 2020 title will pin Lewis Hamilton against Max Verstappen, the former F1 driver dismissing a challenge from Ferrari. Verstappen won three races last year and finished third in the 2019 drivers’ standings behind a dominant Hamilton and his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas. But a Red Bull Racing RB16 that should be quite competitive in Austria – where Verstappen won last season – and in Hungary could give the Dutchman an edge with which to build his title bid. And that would bode well for the 22-year-old title chances. Webber sees no point in Alonso returning to F1 “I think it’s between him and…
