Whoever you are, you're either too stupid to understand there is no distinction or you're one more Jew Hating loser.

Why should anyone hate "Zionists?" Do these same people hate other indigenous groups who have a strong rationale to returning to their ancient homeland? Do they hate Cherokees in Oklahoma who want to return to Florida? Do they hate Armenians who want to return to their ancient territory now controlled by Turkey? Do they hate the Wa who don't recognize the territories claimed by China and Myanmar? Do they hate Aboriginals with claims on Northern Territory land?

I wrote this;

Dear Adidas,

Please tell me you are not using the Israeli Olympic team massacre to sell shoes to modern Jew haters?

By hiring Bella Hadid, who openly calls for extermination of Jews, this appears to be your message.

Yes, you might become the E.G.Farber of shoes. Millions of people want to kill Jews. Is that where you want to take your brand?

Germany swapped 300,000 awful Jews for one million wonderful Muslims. God is just.

They may truly be trying to bankrupt themselves or their marketing management is totally delusional. That is horrifying.

How horrible! There is no room in this world for hate. Nike should be more responsible in their choices of representatives.

Well, sure, Nike screwed up by hiring that spoiled brat quarterback racist clown, but this article is about Adidas.

What is that Biblical passage: As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly". Who’s their next model, the Ginger Prince?

I suppose the entire executive board of Adidas went home after this decision to a home full of migrants they invited to live with them. In support of Germany’s open borders! Or they just invited displaced Gaza’s Hamas families.

I’m not betting on that! Maybe the migrants should seek them out.

They stay true to their Nazi roots

Adidas founders Adi and Rudi Dassler were members of the Nazi party—joining in 1933, the same year Adolf Hitler became Chancellor. The German shoe brand, launched in the 1920s, was one of many German companies to cooperate with the Nazi party during the 1930s and 1940s. (The Adidas corporate site does not mention this history—framing the period of 1900-1949 as “only the start of our story.”)

But, in case Bella Hadid was wondering they don't necessarily stop with the Jews (after all they are the "master race")

"Nike, Adidas, Apple, Microsoft and Samsung are among 83 multinationals that have been linked to forced labor by Uighurs in factories across China, according to a new study by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI)."

If I didn't know the truth about why they are really so angry with the situation in Gaza I would think that Adidas possibly using Uighur forced labor would trouble Bella Hadid tremendously. Yet, unsurprisingly it was not an issue for her at all.

I find it very upsetting yet for Bella it's no big deal

Well said Christopher. I've never purchased a thing from Adidas, nor will I ever. As far as the Hadid family, all I'm inclined to say is....BARF! 🤮

Would you care to share with the class an elaboration of your comment? Presumably, as you took the time to write something, you wanted to convey a sentiment. But I have zero idea what this grammatically challenged sentence fragment is supposed to mean.

My wife of German ancestry looked at me yesterday morning ,after seeing Bella Hamas in Adidas, bye bye Adidas bye bye, not for anyone in our family, none. Especially not my Grandkids.

In a free nation, one is free to do as one pleases and to advocate for others to do the same. So long as people stop buying Adidas of their free will - great. I have zero desire to empower the government to ban the products of a private company.

A couple of things I would like to point.

1. This article was the only one of the many articles and posts that I have seen that actually gave us a direct call to action - you actually provided an email address!! That is why our PR war is failing so much. We all know that to be effective, you need the right person to complain to - it makes all teh difference in the world. So many times I get articles like this and it just says send an email By the way, what I did was call Adidas and asked who to email and i was given SERVICE_EN@ONLINESHOP.ADIDAS.CA - Chris's email I would think is much more affetive as he provided the investor email. Again, we have terrible PR and this is one of the reasons.

2. Chris, I thought your article went extreme on Germans and just creating an impression that all Germans hate Jews. Just way way way too extreme for my liking. Germany announced recently that from now on it requires new immigrants to recognize Israel's right to exist!!! THAT IS MAJOR!! So talking about an entire group of people is really not kewl.

Good Shabbos ahimsa papa j

I think that stems from the merger of the Progressive Left with the Islamists. Its not only happening in Germany but we see it all over Europe. The Left are making the concessions and doing the appeasing and in the end, they are destroying the very fabric of the nation. Once the fabric is torn down, the Islamists will have no need fro the Progressives and they will destroyed as well. The future of the US rests on the outcome of the election. The Jews and the American culture as we know it cannot withstand another 4 years of WOKE, DEI, White Oppressor etc etc. papa j

Vote accordingly and get all the rational people you know TO PAY ATTENTION FOR ONCE IN THEIR LIVES and go vote, as well. Apathy is the Political Class's best friend.

What a blessing that Jews are so creative. We don’t need the worthless products of antisemitic scum. Adidas, made by Chinese child slaves, promoted by Islamofascist Nazis.
