Disney Cuts Ties with Meghan, Excludes Her from Invictus Games Closing Ceremonies

Bob Hyger has made a bold move by withdrawing Disney's sponsorship from the Invictus Games and insisting on Meghan's exclusion from the closing ceremonies.

Let's be clear right from the start – this is not a debate about the incredible nature of the Invictus Games.
