Edit request: mention controversy around Adidas commemorating the 1972 Munich Olympics

[edit]


  • What I think should be changed: Add a section to the article, to discuss the longer-term legacy. Within that, mention the ongoing controversy around Adidas commemorating the 1972 Munich Olympic Games - the company chose to do this via launching a new shoe, featuring Bella Hadid as a model. This is causing significant controversy within the Israeli and Jewish communities, due to Hadid's past controversies on her stance on Hamas and Palestinian political violence in general.
  • Why it should be changed: The Munich Massacre has a long legacy, now with commemoration of the Munich Olympics occuring via Adidas' new shoe in 2024. Adidas is a household name in the fashion space and hence their actions and controversies hold significance. The controversy around Adidas' collaboration with a famous yet controversial model, who is perceived by some in the Jewish and Israeli communities as having problematic stances on Palestinian political violence, is an important point to record in the history of the legacy/commemoration of the Munich Massacre. It also ties into the wider discussion around the ongoing Israel-Hamas War.
  • References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): Please see this article by the Jewish Chronicle about the ongoing controversy. Please see this article by the Jerusalem Post highlighting a past controversy by Bella Hadid.

The story has now been picked up by more mainstream news outlets, such as BBC News. I did not mention specific changes, because I propose something more general - this incident needs to be mentioned in some way, and it would be irresponsible to propose any specific paragraph. Should I propose a specific paragraph? Neutral Editor 645 (talk) 14:49, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Already done. Another editor has added a paragraph to the end of Munich massacre#Effect on the Games. CWenger (^@) 15:18, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If someone could please change the link from Black September to Black September Organization in Aftermath, third paragraph.186.139.187.134 (talk) 16:45, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the first mention of Black September in that section to a link to the correct article, and removed the later link. (Hohum @) 17:56, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

In the "Aftermath" section, it is stated that Carmel Eliash died of a heart attack during the memorial service in the Olympic Stadium, which is not correct. He suffered a heart attack but was flown to Israel and recovered. He died of another heart attack in May 1973. See the Wikipedia article about Carmel Eliash. Thank you.

the terrorists did not demand the release of Andreas Baader of RAF in their communiqué

[edit]

As shown by Anna Greithanner, Dominik Aufleger and Robert Wolff in 2022 when they found a copy of the original communiqué in the Bavarian State Archives the terrorists of Black September did not demand the release of Andreas Baader but only of Ulrike Meinhof. Their article as showed that the formerly published number of to be released prisoners of about 236 was wrong since the list includes the names of 328. Thus the article should correct this mistake by removing Andreas Baader and including a section about common micsonceptions regarding the demands of Black September.

Corrections made to show the "original communiqué" cited does in fact only list the name of Ulrike Meinhof and not that of Andreas Baader, plus add inline citation/reference. Nightsturm (talk) 21:41, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
