Kanye West has come under fire for claiming he can make as many antisemitic comments as he wants and still keep his partnership with Adidas.
ADL head Jonathan Greenblatt wrote in a letter to Adidas’ CEO and chair of its board:
We urge Adidas to reconsider supporting the Ye product line and to issue a statement making clear that the Adidas company and community has no tolerance whatsoever for antisemitism. I’d be more than happy to discuss this matter with you at your convenience. We stand ready to work with you in whatever way possible to ensure that antisemitism has no place in Adidas.
In a letter to the Adidas’ CEO and chairman, Ostrovsky noted that the sportswear giant took action supporting LGBT athletes in 2016, “proudly joined” the Black Lives Matter campaign in 2020, and last year took part in the #STOPASIANHATE initiative, in solidarity with the American Asian community. Ostrovsky noted Adidas’ “dark past” as a German company during the Holocaust. He said Kanye has “revealed himself for what he truly is – a creator of bigotry, racism and virulent antisemitism.”
