Adidas has dropped vocal pro-Palestinian model Bella Hadid from an advertising campaign for retro trainers referencing the 1972 Munich Olympics, which were overshadowed by a massacre of Israeli athletes, following outcry over her views.
The German sportswear giant recently relaunched the SL72, a shoe first showcased by athletes at the 1972 Olympics, as part of a series reviving old classic trainers.
Eleven Israeli athletes and a German police officer were killed at the 1972 Munich Games after gunmen from the Palestinian Black September group broke into the Olympic village and took them hostage.

People make mistakes. Oversights happen. Not everything that happens is deliberate.
But did anyone at Adidas or the ad agency make the connection between Hadid and what happened at Munich?
Yikes.
What, exactly, did the woman do - besides evoke screeches from cancel-goons?
Hadid’s father is a millionaire Palestinian.
Wow, what a bizarre example of ignorance, I’m starting to think that every boardroom should require one ordinary old person in the room with some knowledge of things to occasionally recommend that they look deeper into certain plans and projects.
Crazed Jew Hating Psychopath.

Her whole family holds the same or a more extreme view

Germany killed half of the world’s Jews, then stood by as much of the Israeli Olympic team was butchered in 1972. You’d think Adidas, whose founders became Nazis as soon as Hitler took power, would be a little more sensitive about putting an Arab terror supporter up as a symbol of a shoe birthed in the same year as the pogrom at the Olympics.
Not a very attractive model, IMO.

Historical and biblical truth - The “Palestinian refugees” are neither Palestinian nor refugees. Here are the facts!

This had to have been signed off on multiple times. Low IQ execs. Must be using the same ad company as Bud Light.
“Stupid is...”
Adidas has gone all-in on marketing to ghetto culture.
First the partnership with total nutcase Kain West, and now this.
No one in Compton cares or even knows about the ‘72 Games.
After you’re done screeching here - GFY with something that has a sharp edge.
Post the pics.
Adidas was founded by Adolph “Adi” Dassler, a NAZI party member.
Adi’s older brother Rudolph, also a NAZI, founded Pumas shoes.
Adidas was my go to after Nike became no go for me. However I now tend toward logo less stuff but unfortunately that usually means cheap chinese crap. The search continues.
