"It has become clear to me that to unify the organization it would be better for me to retire and pave the way for change," Parkin said in a written statement. Parkin came under fire last year after she told employees at a meeting that she thought the topic of racism was"noise" that is only discussed in the United States, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. She also told employees she didn't think Adidas had an issue with racism, the report stated.
The few Black people who worked there expressed feeling marginalized by their employer, which routinely markets itself using famous Black designers and brand ambassadors like Beyoncé and Kanye West.Karen Parkin, former Executive Board Member of Global Human Resources at Adidas, announced her resignation on Tuesday, June 30, 2020.Adidas said CEO Kasper Rorsted will take over as interim head of HR until a more permanent replacement is found.
And just think the founder of Adidas, Adolf Dassler, was a Nazi and/or assisted the Nazis.

Why you don’t put her picture Useless CNN. But you put that missing soldier picture.
There's no joke needed here...it writes itself. Side note adidas should be investigated for the crimes against folks due to the wafer thin insoles they put in shoes. (I love adidas shoes, but the insoles are a crime). Always needs Dr Scholl's as a supplement.
She was right that all the talk of racism is noise that only really matters in the US and a couple of select (rich and decadent) markets. Seems like it could hav been possible for the employees to disagree without cancelling her. Sad.
Does anyone else think it’s funny that her name is Karen?! Lol!
AnotherKaren.
Only speaking the truth
Another KKKaren pays the price for their racism.
Little information- Adidas was formed by a nazi party member Adi Das(ler). His brother started puma. 💫 the more you know 💫
IAmSophiaNelson She'll get hired by Mark Zuckerberg, or one of his racist cronies, for this act(s) alone.
Lmao. Karen!! Such coincidence 😂
