Adidas's Only Female Executive Resigns Over Racism Controversy
  • 4 years ago
Karen Parkin was the only female #executive on the board of sports wear company #Adidas. The British national had a #career of 20 years at the company touching Sales, Business Development and Supply Chain Management. That's all gone now. Her last field of responsibility was Human Ressources and as such she failed to acknowledge the need for affirmative action and anti-racism #hysteria at Adidas.

She should soon be corrected. After being called out by Product Manager Aaron Ture, famous for something, maybe or not, she gave a Stalinesque apology. She 'stood 100% against racism' and 'worked to create a more equitable environment,' she swore. Anyway, she "acknowledged", as the New York Times and other activst papers emphasise, that she had become a burden. In her own words it was 'the focus on me.' Her name is Karen Parkin, just in case you missed the focus.

Anyway the company announced a slew of policy changes to pander to the left.
