Adidas apologizes to Bella Hadid after 1972 Olympics ad furor

LONDON: Adidas has apologized to supermodel Bella Hadid after pulling her from an advertising campaign that referenced the 1972 Munich Olympics, Sky News reported on Wednesday. Israel-linked pressure groups accused the campaign of causing offence because of Hadid’s partly Palestinian heritage. At the 1972 games, 11 Israeli athletes and a German police officer were killed by the Black September group.
