Breitbart: Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted flat-out dismissed calls for his company to cut ties with rap superstar Kanye West over his recent comments on slavery.
“There clearly are some comments we don’t support,” Rorsted said in an interview with Bloomberg TV. “Kanye has been and is a very important part of our strategy and has been a fantastic creator.”
Rorsted added that West has become “very important part of our brand from a revenue standpoint and how we promote our products,” but said that they would discuss his concerns with him privately. more here

Good going, about time these corporations stopped buckling to the crazy leftists.
Most encouraging to see wise and gutsy CEO man up and tell perpetually offended leftist cry babies to GTFO. Have to start buying Adidas.
I don’t see how anyone could either support or oppose
Kanye’s comments about slavery. I read the thing, and it was completely incomprehensible.
Hmmm. have an old pair i use to mow the lawn…still comfy. May be due for a new pair…
All Day I Dream About Stomping…lefties 🙂
“There clearly are some comments we don’t support,” Rorsted said.”
Wouldn’t be refreshing to see a company support one of their spokesmen that made a conservative comment without the above quote?
But then I guess we should be happy for what we can get.
Under attack again BFH?
Keep it up! Time to turn more.
Otoh, Adidas has also offered Colin Kaepernick an endorsement deal if an NFL team signs him to play. Which as expected resulted in others to call for Adidas to sign him to endorse their products even if he wasn’t playing for a team.
