u/Consistent-Laugh606 Jul 20 '24
They dropped her cause she was half Palestinian… how is that not racist?

u/MidnightRain_ts-1989 Free Palestine Jul 20 '24
That is racist and incredibly Zionist on their side

I just realized that this could be interpreted as a very high brow form of genocide denial. It is not

Yeah
Being demonized everywhere does that to you, but I've Always dabbled in adding layers to my ad hominem anyway

It was a campaign for a sneaker based off the 1972 Olympics…choices were definitely made. They did this to stir up controversy, it’s blatantly obvious. I’m sure she was also aware of how this would look and what would happen when people caught wind of it.
I think “terrorists”, particularly these ones, are often justified and have no other way of fighting back but like…this is not a great way to get that message across. It seems like controversy in order to get free advertising.

Keep Boycotting

Adidas managed to screw themselves from both ends. Pissed off the Zionists by picking her, then pissed off the pro-Palestine movement by sacking her. Pretty terrible move. At least have the balls to stand by your pick.

None of these corporations have balls. They’re all gutless and would sell their mothers for a nickle in a heartbeat.
Edit: and the above is not hyperbole. I work near the c suite for a large multinational corp.

I mean sticking to their guns would have made me a fan. I would have become a customer.

Don't love Jews enough to denounce a Nazi, don't love Palestinians enough to defend one, love money enough to let it determine both decisions. Capitalism in a nutshell.

They dropped Kanye eventually.

I used to wear Adidas a bit in my sports gear collection. That's now a thing of the past for sure.
BDS for life, or at least until there are equal rights for everyone from the river to the sea.

Yes same, I was the biggest fan of so many of these brands and some brands have been hard to part with but people's lives are much more important than my favourite handbag or makeup.

Were they not on your boycott list already?

They have been in boycott list

u/rRizla77 Jul 21 '24
Why does Bella work with them? She worked/s with coke too.... surely she should boycott them all too

u/Consistent-Laugh606 Jul 21 '24
They were but many people who support Palestine don’t even know there’s a list and just boycott companies they heard bad things from. All my family are Pro Palestine but some of them buy/used to buy things from boycotted companies like Coke

Adidas corporate are cowards. STAND for something. Capitalism is a cancer.

That seems reasonable. They don’t seem to have learned their lesson from the first boycott.

Would also help to write emails to them telling them you plan to boycott their products. Show them the sheer number of support/customers they've lost because of their racist fascist decision.

It's unfortunate that you have to be loaded to be able to speak freely on Palestine without fear of losing your job.

u/MidnightRain_ts-1989 Free Palestine Jul 20 '24
Yes but even most of loaded PPL are also not speaking

u/PreparationOk1450 Jul 20 '24
Oh absolutely. It's not a guarantee but a necessary prerequisite in many cases.

Nike is out too, no?
Is Reebok, ok?

u/303Pickles Jul 21 '24
I thought Adidas and Reebok joined, since Adidas started slapping on their label to some of the classic Reebok sneakers, that was happening during the pandemic, maybe as early as 2020… but I couldn’t find official info on them.

u/mauxdivers Jul 21 '24
But how is it not discrimination if they drop her because of her origin? That's awful

Adidas’s quality plummeted long before, almost a decade ago. Their shoes aren’t sturdy or comfortable. It’s just a company that’s floating on their past image.
I find Merrell’s to be one of the semi decent athletic shoe maker.
I hope Adidas crash and burn, as they should have a long time ago, since taking up Kanye’s nonsense.
Germany needs to actively see the similarities of Israel with the Nazi that they readily oppose. They still think that criticizing Israel = antisemitism, instead of really looking at who’s causing the atrocities for so many decades.

ADDIDAS IS ON THE BDS LIST!!!! It’s sad that the Zionists are more upset at Adidas then Pro Palis are upset at Bella - She’s working with a pro Zionist company. Are most people here only upset at Israel but not enough to boycott? Because from the looks of MANY comments - people are ok with Adidas. Unbelievable.
