SA didn’t do something though, he did. So that logic doesn’t really work. We’re talking about someone who has been an outspoken advocate about the war and she’s in an ad for the 1972 Olympics

A more appropriate analogy would be a 9/11 memorial sneaker. Who would you put in that ad?

And Palestine didn't do something, a few people did.

And this isn't a sneaker in memoriam of the massacre it's a throwback to the event. It has nothing to do with the massacre.

Nothing to do with the massacre? Google 1972 Olympics and read a few articles. How many don’t mention what happened? They are inextricable

Yes? I know you're acting in bad faith, but Yes. They released an iconic shoe that year for that Olympics, that is the only thing they are Referencing.
