AT&T announced Wednesday that it will suspended its partnership with USA Gymnastics over the Larry Nassar case, making it the fifth major brand to distance itself from the organization since the former team doctor’s rampant abuse of female athletes made headlines.

The terrible abuse suffered by these young women is unconscionable.”
