[edit] Sponsorship list

Do we need to list every team and player adidas sponsors? I feel like its too much info to be encyclopedic. Farmboyjad 02:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I quite agree and propose to remove this section which currently overwhelms the article and seems to serve no purpose. A similar section at the Nike, Inc. article was recently removed. Thoughts? --John 17:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I've removed it. --John 06:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

But isn't it better to keep everything encyclopedic? Zero (talk) 06:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hitler Connection??

Does anyone have any evidence or a photo to back up the claim that Hitler always wore adidas Rom's??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.66.235.116 (talk) 18:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] All Day I Dream About Sex

Shouldn't there be a brief mention of the Korn song ADIDAS? 65.12.134.148 04:20, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sweatshop?

Shouldn't there be some mention of Adidas's use of sweatshop labor? 65.12.134.148 22:34, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] production policies

Agree with the above section-- the section on production policies is a fucking joke. Of course, no company actually has sweatshops, all workers are always fairly paid and fairly treated, get free ice cream cones and cotton candy, and nothing bad ever happens. People need to be bring attention to the fact that Adidas doesn't manufacture products in the countries in which it generates the most revenue. Lequis (talk) 14:30, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trim

Trimmed a stack of cut-and-paste stuff from the company - this is not supposed to be a PR page for them.... Snori (talk) 09:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
