A Clothing Company Apologized For Washing Instructions That Say “Give It To Your Woman, It’s Her Job”

There’s a clothing company in Indonesia called Salvo Sports that’s in trouble for the washing instructions on one of their soccer jerseys.

The tag says the usual stuff like “machine wash warm with like colors.”  Then it says, quote, “Or give it to your woman.  It’s her job.”

Someone saw the tag and tweeted about it over the weekend, so Salvo Sports apologized yesterday . . . which also happened to be International Women’s Day.

But their apology wasn’t much better than the tag itself.  Quote, “The message is simply, instead of washing it the wrong way, you might as well give it to a lady because they are more capable.

“There’s no intention to humiliate women.  In contrast, learn from women how to take care of clothes.”
