Adidas was founded by brothers and Nazi party members Adolf and Rudolf Dassler in Germany in 1924.

Ynet, which accused Adidas of displaying “insensitivity” in its collaboration with Hadid, reported that the campaign will not appear in Israel. The campaign has already been criticized by the state of Israel’s official account on X/Twitter and also the watchdog group StopAntisemitism.org.

The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) demanded that Adidas apologize and drop Hadid from the campaign, calling her inclusion “an affront” to the memory of the Israelis murdered at the 1972 Olympic Games.

“For Adidas to choose Hadid, someone who is constantly baiting Jews and attacking the Jewish State, is bad enough, but to have her launch a shoe commemorating an Olympics when so much Jewish blood was shed is just sick,” CAM CEO Sacha Roytman Dratwa said in a statement. “We call on Adidas to apologize for this decision and drop Hadid immediately. Otherwise, it will be seen as a direct attack on the memory of the 11 Israelis who were murdered while merely trying to participate in the Olympic Games.”

He noted that the Israeli delegation heading to Paris for this year’s Olympic Games has already been threatened with violence, adding, “Thoughtless actions like this only embolden Israel haters and antisemites.”

Social media users also attacked the German brand for hiring Hadid to be the face of a campaign tied to the deadly Munich Olympics where Israelis were murdered, describing the decision as “simply unbelievable, hypocritical, and disgusting.” One user on X/Twitter, wrote: “Adidas just ruined their name and reputation with one disgusting decision.”

Adar Rubin, from the grassroots movement #EndJewHatred, said, “By partnering with Bella Hadid, a blatant Hamas defender, Adidas has officially shown that they learned nothing from the Kanye West fallout by once again embracing Jew-hatred.”

Elon Musk continues to empower Nazis. Kanye West (or whatever he's currently calling himself) has been reinstated on Twitter (or whatever Elon is currently calling it).

Kanye West famously brought fellow Nazi Nick Fuentes to dinner with Donald Trump last year.

X, formerly known as Twitter, has reinstated Kanye West’s account on the social media platform. West will not be able to monetize his account, and no ads will appear next to his posts, the company told the Wall Street Journal on Saturday. The musician’s account was suspended in December for violating the platform’s rules on inciting violence. The suspension followed multiple antisemitic comments made by West – who has legally changed his name to Ye – including a threat to “Go death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.” Those statements led to a swift disintegration of multiple business deals, including partnerships with Adidas and luxury fashion house Balenciaga.

If Elon Musk isn't a Nazi himself, he's a fellow traveler. He certainly doesn't want anybody keeping tabs on the explosion of hate speech on the platform since he took over.

Elon Musk has over the last year threatened legal action against tech competitors, employees and people who use Twitter, which he owns. Now he is also taking aim at an organization that studies hate speech and misinformation on social media. X Corp., the parent company of the social media company, sent a letter on July 20 to the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a nonprofit that conducts research on social media, accusing the organization of making “a series of troubling and baseless claims that appear calculated to harm Twitter generally, and its digital advertising business specifically,” and threatening to sue. The letter cited research published by the Center for Countering Digital Hate in June examining hate speech on Twitter, which Mr. Musk has renamed X.com. The research consisted of eight papers, including one that found that Twitter had taken no action against 99 percent of the 100 Twitter Blue accounts the center reported for “tweeting hate.” The letter called the research “false, misleading or both” and said the organization had used improper methodology.

Twitter Blue is apparently a license to post hate speech.

In a blog post Monday evening, X announced that it had filed a lawsuit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate for “actively working to prevent free expression.” The suit was filed in federal court in the Northern District of California. Twitter’s advertising business has been struggling under the ownership of Mr. Musk, who bought the company last year. U.S. ad revenue for the five weeks from April 1 to the first week of May was $88 million, down 59 percent from a year earlier. Advertisers may have been spooked by Mr. Musk’s changes to the social network, including the removal of rules of what can or can’t be said on the service and more ads featuring online gambling and marijuana products.

Hate speech is a major turnoff for most advertisers. Elon thinks that if the Center for Countering Digital Hate stops publicizing the massive hate speech problem at Twitter then advertisers will flood back to the platform.

Elon, did anybody ever tell you that you're a dumb shit? 🫵🏼

Twitter/X is not going to get any better – just the opposite. Elon Musk is determined to turn it into a safe space for far right hatemongers.

If you are still on Twitter then you will increasingly be associated with Nazis, conspiracy loonies, and other lowlife dregs of social media who are welcomed there. No matter how much you may try to avoid the mess there you will inevitably step in their shit.

Fight hate speech on Elon Musk's Twitter and on other platforms. Support the Center for Countering Digital Hate

Tommy Cash presents: UNTZ UNTZ

Uptempo song non stop (with a uncensored video. Parody Sex Olympics)

Tommy Cash is delivering and fulfilling his Olympic dream vision to you with the Sex Olympics film, set to his new track “Untz Untz”. Tommy, hailing from Estonia, thought up the concept four years ago and last January he called his collaborator, female director Alina Pasok to flawlessly execute the vision

The full-on, NSFW version, can be seen on Pornhub, via Warehouse-X channel and the censored version will be available here on Tommy’s YouTube channel.

Are you ready for sex olympic?

Tommy says: "I combined what might be humankind's two greatest passions through the ages - sex and sport. It's finally time to bring about the new athletic standard - going pantless."

A post shared by TOMM¥ €A$H (@tommycashworld)

Alina says: “In January, Tommy called me with an idea of Sex Olympics. At first, it seemed impossible. After this film, I realized that the impossible is possible. Just do it. It was an incredible and very fun experience. It's sad that the song is so short, and we didn't film all the sports disciplines we wanted to show in our film.”

Tommy Cash summer tour dates:

Sat 8.10 - Buftea, RO @ Summer Well Festival

Thu 8.1 - Vilnius, LT @ Vasaros Terasa

Sat 8.31 - Bratislava, SK @ Uprising Festival

Born in 91, on the last year of the Soviet Union Tommy Cash experienced a blend of the Baltic ghetto and the lingering Russian heritage whilst growing up. Turning to art for self-expression he experimented across dancing hip-hop and street art, finally to arrive at his latest conquest - music. His creativity derives from the cultural capital of post-Soviet sceneries and the sounds of the leaders of western rap music. Unpacking the layers of Tommy Cash you’ll find a genuine admiration for the iconic three stripes Adidas, equestrianism, and Kanye West - all of which construct the conceptual artist who is capable of smashing preconceptions and transcending boundaries of sexuality, genres and history.

Dang ye done DONE

Also Y’all ever seen Yeezy in footlocker 🤔😂 ? Just wondering 💭

Foot Locker Pulls Yeezy Sneakers From Stores and Online After Adidas Termination

Courtesy of Foot Locker

Foot Locker is removing Yeezy shoes from its sales floors in light of recent news surrounding the fashion brand.

Adidas cut ties with Kanye “Ye” West, the founder of the Yeezy brand, on Tuesday after the designer made repeated antisemitic comments. As a result, Adidas said it would “end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies” and “stop the adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.“

Foot Locker instructed all of its stores to remove all pairs of Yeezys from their sales floors, according to an email sent to employees, which was viewed by FN. According to the email, employees have been asked to hold to hold Yeezy shoes in the backroom until further direction is given.

Foot Locker confirmed this move in a statement to FN and said it had instructed retail operators to pull Yeezy product from shelves and digital sites.

“Foot Locker, Inc. does not tolerate any form of antisemitism, or hateful and discriminatory behavior,” the company said in a statement. “While we remain a partner with adidas and carry a wide assortment of their collections — we will not be supporting any future Yeezy product drops, and we have instructed our retail operators to pull any existing product from our shelves and digital sites.”

Losing Yeezy sales in Foot Locker could be especially detrimental to the shoe retailer that recently shared that the amount of Nike product in its stores would be significantly less.

In May, Adidas expanded a partnership with Foot Locker to focus on “product innovation, elevated experiences, and deeper consumer connectivity.” The new partnership targeted more than $2 billion in retail sales by 2025, nearly tripling levels from 2021, Adidas said. It is unclear how much of this would have been generated by Yeezy product.

According to Williams Trading analyst Sam Poser, given the Yeezy fallout, this partnership “has a far less chance now to be successful, than the low percent of success we expected when the deal was initially announced.”

As for Adidas-owned stores, the company said it would “stop the adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.”

In the wake of the news, other retail stores have taken similar measures to distance themselves from the Yeezy brand and its founder.

Gap, which ended its contract with Yeezy in September, said on Tuesday that it was taking “immediate steps to remove Yeezy Gap product” from stores. Gap said it had also shut down YeezyGap.com.

In 2021, West struck a 10-year deal for Yeezy Gap with Gap Inc. and the option to renew after 5 years. West launched his Yeezy x Gap line for the first time at brick-and-mortar Gap stores on July 21 along with product from the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collection.

“Antisemitism, racism and hate in any form are inexcusable and not tolerated in accordance with our values,” Gap Inc. said in a statement. “On behalf of our customers, employees and shareholders, we are partnering with organizations that combat hate and discrimination.”

Before Adidas’ announcement, Balenciaga, CAA, Vogue and more big names revealed they were cutting ties with Ye as well.

Kanye West apologizes to Jewish community, after his name was written on Israeli missile

Famous American singer, Kanye West’s name has been spotted on an Israeli missile which is apparently going to be used in the Middle East war. A prominent Israeli mixed-martial artist, MMA, fighter, Haim Gozali is taking credit for the stunt. Gozali, who was once affiliated with Bellator, shared the picture of the missile on his official social media handle. DAILY POST reports that the MMA star has been very outspoken on the conflict between Israel and Hamas, oftentimes mocking the death of Palestinians over the past few months. In November, Gozali had written the names of Muslim UFC fighters including Khabib Nurmagomedov and others who have expressed support for Palestine on a bomb that seemed to be on the frontlines. However, sharing new photos of some of the missiles apparently in the possession of Israeli soldiers on his X account, Gozali wrote “@kanyewest you don’t like us Jewish. So we don’t like you either.” The picture captured a shell with the inscription “Kanye West Flying to Gaza Haim Gozali.” It’s unclear if Gozali is the one actually writing the names, or if someone else in the Israeli Defense Forces, IDF, does it on his behalf. Meanwhile Kanye West or Ye, has finally tendered a public apology to the Jewish community over his anti-Semitic comments. This is coming one year after the singer declared war on the Jewish community following his controversial Paris Fashion Week show, where he showcased his White Lives Matter shirts. DAILY POST reports that Kanye had in October 2022 lost lucrative contracts with Adidas and Balenciaga led to losing his billionaire status. He was also banned from X platform and Instagram after saying he was going to ‘go death on 3 on Jewish people’ in a tweet. In a new development on his Instagram page on Tuesday, December 26 2023, the 46-year-old, however, posted a message written in Hebrew which translates to: ‘I sincerely apologise to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions. ‘It wasn’t my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I’m committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. “Your forgiveness is important to me, and I’m committed to making amends and promoting unity.” @kanyewest you don’t like us jewish. So we don’t like you too !!! pic.twitter.com/V0oF6mNBnq— Haim gozali (@GozaliHaim) December 24, 2023 Read the full article
