Leave it to Pat McAfee to be the voice of reason in the sports world. I covered the Opening Ceremony pretty extensively, from the moment the rather disrespectful Last Supper scene featuring a half naked, Smurf-looking Dionysus dude and bunch of drag queens (one with his sack hanging out in front of a little girl) happened, to their half-assed non apology, and while there’s been a ton of conversation on the internet about it, we haven’t really seen anyone in the sports community speak out about it.

Supermodel Bella Hadid blasted Adidas’s lack of preparation and admitted her team should have done more diligence for an ill-fated shoe campaign tied to the Olympics. The campaign, launched in March, drew criticism earlier this month for commemorating the 1972 Munich Olympic Games—the same Olympics in which 11 Israeli athletes and coaches were killed during a terrorist attack carried out by Palestinian militant group Black September. Hadid, who is Palestinian, was one of the spokespeople for the SL 72 rollout.
