“Anti Semitic remarks”. Give them to Biden. He can send them to the Azov Battalion.

I confess that while Kanye has edged close to sounding antisemitic, I haven’t actually come across anything that really *is* antisemitic. Anyone have any quotes, in context, where he’s antisemitic?

Burn them? Why not donate them to the poor in some Third World hell hole? Were they never heard of Kanye?

“Funny. I just read yesterday that Adidas was started by and named for a Nazi sympathizer.”
I remember reading something about that awhile ago. Can’t recall all the details, but do recall that Adidas was a joint venture between 2 brothers in Germany prior to the 1932 Olympics. There was some sort of business disagreement between them after WW2 so they split the company up. One brother kept the “Adidas” brand and the other founded the “Puma” brand.

What would the writer construe as a Kanye West anti-Semitic outburst?
I am not asking for a friend.

Forget the retail value. Given where made their costs including shipping and warehousing are probably 5-10% of that number.

“anti-Semitic statements...” Adidas is managed by weak cowards with hurt feelings and stuff. Lame company.

Ironic that the target demographic for Yeezy brand are some of the most virulently anti Semitic people in America.
Heck, Kayne gave Adidas the start of an awesome marketing campaign.

stripping the trainers of the Yeezy label and selling them at a discount as 'zombie Yeezys' was a risk because the brand could still be seen as 'profiting off of a collaboration with someone who made blatant anti-Semitic statements'.For a company founded by a Nazi, you'd think they could work something out.

They will make a fortune calling them “Get Whitey” sneakers.
