She had a nasty accident in September which required surgery, and a few days later this person was going through her Tweet likes (some 10,000+ of them):

She had liked a tweet from Candace Owens (who is black) about not allowing men in women's shelters, and another from Owens about Colin Kaepernick saying that Kaepernick was 'scamming the black community', another from Charlie Kirk saying 'in America hard work & choices determine success, not the color of your skin', and a fourth with Donald Trump tweeting some of his campaign posters.
Anyway, she was signed recently to a new cycling team and made to apologise for liking politically unacceptable tweets, which she did on her Instagram a couple of weeks ago

This team happens to be sponsored by Rapha, who make very expensive cycling kit, which sells mostly to men. In 2016, according to Wikipedia they switched from the leading men's team to Dygert's new team
" On 3 November 2015 Rapha announced that their Team Sky sponsorship would end after the 2016 season. In an effort to grow and promote women's cycling, Rapha began supplying clothing to the UCI Women's WorldTour team Canyon-SRAM"
Anyway, Dygert hasn't SAID anything, but she did like tweets which people find offensive.
However, expensive clothing brand didn't like her liking bad opinions, and EMAILED their customers to tell them this.
This email reads as follows:
"As you know, earlier this year we committed to fighting discrimination within cycling as part of our wider effort to promote diversity, inclusion and greater equality in the sport we love. Itās absolutely imperative that as we develop our relationship with this subject, we do so with integrity. So we are writing to you today to clarify our position on the actions of new Canyon//SRAM Racing rider ChloĆ© Dygert who, back in June, endorsed racist and transphobic views on social media. Rapha wholeheartedly condemns these actions as they were offensive, divisive and have no place in cycling or society.
Since we became aware of this incident, we have taken time to fully investigate what happened, consulting with the rider, Canyon//SRAM Racing and other partners in order to take informed action in response. Having undergone that process, we believe that ChloƩ has made very serious errors of judgment, which were compounded by an apology she issued that was not sufficient. However, we also believe that trusting the ability of people to change is key to reaching any form of meaningful reconciliation. Having spoken to her at length, we believe that ChloƩ has the capacity and the will to listen, learn and to change.
All of us, the team and each of its partners, have acknowledged that we need to take action following this incident to ensure that this never happens again. Canyon//SRAM Racing have already taken clear steps to work with ChloƩ and is engaging with an external Diversity & Inclusion consultant in order to develop a comprehensive programme of diversity and inclusion training that focuses on dialogue and education. This is something that we believe will have a considerable impact within the team and beyond. Exact details of the program will be published by the team in the coming weeks.
As a result of our conversations, the willingness that ChloĆ© has demonstrated, and the meaningful actions that Canyon//SRAM Racing is putting in place, Rapha will continue to support the team. Acknowledging that they, like us, must do more to promote diversity, inclusion and equality, Canyon//SRAM Racing has been instrumental in promoting womenās cycling over the last five years, and the continuation of this work should not be jeopardised by the actions of one person. This incident has been an opportunity for all of us to learn and understand how much more we can all do.
Finally, we would like to reiterate our stance on this issue once more. Discrimination has no place in cycling or society, and we are committed to fighting it in all of its forms by promoting diversity, inclusion and equality in the sport. There is no issue we take more seriously, and should there be any subsequent breach of these standards, the team will review the position outlined immediately. As part of this process, we will be reviewing our own working policies and practices to prevent similar incidents in the future. The last two weeks have served only to intensify our commitment to improve, starting with the actions outlined here."
So she will be forced to undergo 're-education', and if she should like any more tweets suggesting that men don't belong in women's shelters, or like tweets they deem to be racist, they may take their sponsorship away from the team.
