I did like this quote at the end of the AP story: “In Germany, where Adidas is headquartered, the head of the country’s main Jewish group welcomed the company’s decision but said the “step was overdue.” ‘I would have liked a clear stance earlier from a German company that also was entangled with the Nazi regime,’ Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, said in a statement. “Adidas has done a lot to distance itself from its past and, like many sports brands, is one of those companies that conduct big campaigns against antisemitism and racism. That’s why an earlier separation from Kanye West would have been appropriate.” On Mon, 24 Oct 2022 at 2:29 PM Kevin M. <drunkbastar...@gmail.com> wrote: > West was just dropped by CAA. > > Still waiting for Adidas. > > On Mon, Oct 17, 2022 at 8:32 PM PGage <pga...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> As far as the issue of conservatorship goes, Kanye’s case really >> illustrates what was going on with Spears.
