As has been the case since 1961, and up until 2018; ABC Sports had covered this year’s Indianapolis 500, instigated by Roone Arledge on his quest for ABC Sports to televise nearly every single known and then unknown Sporting Event.

Not Only Is It Sad That Right-Wing Extremism Is Gaining Popularity In The Present Day And Time (As Of The Time Of Writing This Post), But It Is Also Sad That Many Athletes And Young Radicals Don’t Comprehend The Roots Of The Athletic Footwear And Apparel Manufacturer Adidas Has In Nazi Germany.

Heaven forbid that these Athletes and other Young Radical people comprehend, and ponder over the fact that the Brand Name Adidas stands for one of the company’s founders, Adolf “Adi” Dassler.

Also, heaven forbid that these Athletes and other Young Radical people comprehend that Adidas was founded in 1918 as a quintessential 19th and early 20th Century company named the Dassler Brothers Shoe Company (German:Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik).

Heaven forbid forbid that these Athletes and other Young Radical people comprehend that Adolf “Adi” Dassler had worked for the Reichsführers-SS, likely from the time that Adolf Hitler came into power in 1933, up until July, 1945; two months after American Troops had liberated Germany, when American Occupation authorities had arrested Dassler under the suspicion that Mr. Dassler had worked for the Sicherheitsdienst, that Mr. Dassler had to undergo the Denazification process following WWII, and the Dassler Shoe Factory, during the War; had manufactured Panzerschreck, a German Reverse-Engineered iteration of the American Bazooka Weapon, which the Germans had copied upon gaining access to captured American Bazooka weapons.

Last, heaven forbid that these Athletes, and other Young Radical people; including modern Formula 1 Driver Nick Heidfeld; comprehend that Adolf “Adi” Dassler’s nephew, by the name of Armin Dassler, had founded the rival Athletic Footwear and Apparel manufacturer Puma.
