Buffalo Bills, Azuna team up to launch ‘Smell of Victory’ odor eliminator & air freshener

Buffalo-based Azuna has become an official partner of The Buffalo Bills with the launch of its “Smell of Victory” all-natural odor eliminator & air freshener gel.

The product, specially formulated for the partnership, is scented with subtle notes of champagne, fresh floral and fruit. Like Azuna’s other products, Smell of Victory contains a slow release tea tree gel that works to neutralize the bacteria, mold, and mildew that cause odors, leaving fresher, cleaner air.

“We are excited to partner with a young, fresh Buffalo based company that’s scaling up quickly,” said Dan Misko, SVP of Business Development for the Buffalo Bills. “The consumer product collaboration makes this partnership especially unique for us, and we know Bills fans will be eager to give this made-in-Buffalo product a try.”

On Monday, the Bills and Azuna announced the launch with Captain Sandy Yawn from Bravo’s Below Deck and Bills OT Dion Dawkins. Both are official spokespersons for the company.

“I put it in my locker and said, ‘This is something different,’” Dawkins shared on a One Bills Live appearance alongside Captain Sandy. “It gives that locker room and your area that fresh smell.”

Captain Sandy, a renowned superyacht captain, says Azuna odor eliminator & air fresheners are a must-have on the boat for her and her crew.

“It’s a product that I love and that we use on the boat all the time,” she said. “Because of all the mold, we constantly use Azuna.”

Smell of Victory is now available with special Bills fan pricing for pre-sale orders at azunafresh.com/pages/smell-of-victory. Or visit azunafresh.com to check out Azuna’s full lineup of tea tree oil-based gels, sprays and wipes.

Azuna gel is biodegradable, phthalate-free, vegan & cruelty-free, as well as kid and pet friendly.

FEMA pressures staff to rat out colleagues who have criticized Trump anonymously: report



A number of Federal Emergency Management Agency staff that openly criticized President Donald Trump are under intense investigation from FEMA leadership, and under threats of termination should they refuse to reveal the names of their colleagues who criticized Trump anonymously, Bloomberg reported Thursday.

Nearly 200 FEMA employees signed onto a letter in August pushing back against the Trump administration’s cuts to FEMA, warning that the cuts could jeopardize the agency’s ability to adequately respond to disasters.

More than a dozen FEMA employees – all of whom signed onto the letter – were soon placed on leave. Now, remaining staff that had signed onto the letter using their name are being investigated by agency leadership, being threatened to reveal the names of their colleagues who signed the letter anonymously, according to insiders who spoke with Bloomberg and documents reviewed by the outlet.

“The interviews with FEMA workers have been carried out by the agency's division that investigates employee misconduct, and those interviewed have been told they risk being fired for failure to cooperate,” Bloomberg writes in its report. “The employees have been instructed not to bring counsel, according to people familiar with the process.”

The revelation that FEMA staff under investigation were being instructed not to bring legal counsel was revealed, in part, by Colette Delawalla, the founder of the nonprofit organization Stand Up for Science, the same organization that helped FEMA staff publish its letter of dissent.

“They are not really given an option not to comply,” Delawalla told Bloomberg. “They don’t have guidance while they’re in there.”

Trump has previously said he wanted to phase out FEMA and “bring it down to the state level,” with the agency struggling to respond to emergencies such as the deadly Texas flood in July following new Trump administration policies that led to funding lapses for the agency.

A previous batch of FEMA employees – 140 of them – were placed on leave back in July for signing onto a different letter of dissent, which itself followed a number of FEMA employees being forcibly reassigned to work for Immigrations Customs and Enforcement amid Trump’s mass deportation push.

Critics have characterized the FEMA purges as a blatant violation of the Whistleblower Protection Act, which provides clear protections for government employees from retaliation for disclosing information that is a “specific danger to public health or safety.”
