Reebok has ended the contract with a rapper named Rick Ross. Ross made a song describing rape, and social media was not happy about that. A number of people protested that Rick Ross be dropped from Reebok for such an inappropriate song. After a number of protests, Reebok was forced to end the contract with the rapper. This is ugly for the Internet. Reebok listened to it's social fans, and they dictated their actions based of off what the people thought. This is ugly for Rick Ross because people over social media ended his relationship with Reebok. People will speak their mind online and that can get somebody fired. That is something ugly on the Internet.
