that Arab feet aren't good enough to fill Adidas shoes.
7. there we go again
michael north ,   karmiel israel   (04.04.12)
Oh come on-grow up!!!!! Sport events are held to promote goodwill and comradeship so now the Saudi prince-who is short of nothing has to put a spoke in the wheel-always moaning. Everyone was invited to join in the marathon -I bet if the same was held in Saudi territory ,the Jews would be banned. By the way,dear Prince-forget about Jerusalem-it will be Israel's capital for eternity
8. Morons!
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (04.04.12)
Somebody needs to remind the Arabs that it's 2012 - not 1612! they never cease to remind the world how pathetic they really are.
9. Arab racism at its best!
(04.05.12)
10. Not even Mecca is yours!
(04.05.12)
11. Only Arab sports: stone throwing and shooting civilians!
(04.05.12)
I don't think Adidas, or any other sports company for that matter, should sponsor that! Shame on Red Bull and other companies who sponsor Muslim events, while Muslims sponsor terror and incitement to genocide. Guess what shoes I will buy next wee? You're right: ADIDAS!
12. This must be the latest Sudi "Peace Initiative"
(04.05.12)
What a heap of terrorism-funding hypocrites!
13. Why is there so much hate in Muslim eyes?
(04.05.12)
I mean they actively HATE everything which does not go their way. And what goes their way, they despise. It must be Islam, because Christian Arabs are not like that!
14. Arabs dont make good sportsmen. So why worry?
Efraim ,   Virginia   (04.05.12)
Ever watch an arab sports event? Makes for good comedy LOL
15. The Prince Is At it Again
Douglas Fireman ,   Chicago, USA   (04.05.12)
I wonder how the Arab youth are responding to Prince Nawaf Ben Faisal's dictum. Surely, many of them would put tread marks over his hateful mouth, but they are afraid of losing their feet.
16. If "Jerusalem" is your's....
William ,   Israel   (04.05.12)
why did you abuse and neglect her for centuries up to the 20th century, then again between 1949-1967. I understand that Arab culture allows abuse of things they claim to love....but no one can convince me that Arabs truly love Jerusalem, especially when they turn their backs on her to pray.
17. Now I almost wish Iran gets a nuke
(04.05.12)
Their first target will not be Israel, but the Saudi cowards and the gulf states hypocrites. Oh, and I am sure that when these camel-dung-eating "princes" will find the red phone line to Jerusalem quite busy.
18. "Princes"? They are desert nomads who never created anything
(04.05.12)
All their wealth is from Oil, and even with that, they are mostly bankrupt. Once out of oil, all their royal titles will be as valuable as the sand they pollute. And then they will be as relevant as they were before US companies discovered their oil and built those huge refineries. Heck, they still don't know how to fix and maintain them: they still need foreigners to supervise those camel raping monkeys. But they are specialists in hanging homos, and beating and humiliating their women.
19. Ah! Arabs discovered shoes! And now they boycott them!
(04.05.12)
20. Every Muslim soccer match ends in epic fist fights & killing
(04.05.12)
In Egypt they killed each other after an important match last month: 75 of them are now dead! I say: let's sponsor as many Muslim soccer games as possible. In Syria the favorite sport is sharpshooting. During the last three months, Assad's sportsmen scored more than 8,000 moving targets hits! Do I hear the Syrian hymn?
21. Viva Adidas!!!!
Sergey Landesman ,   Miami, Florida   (04.05.12)
Viva Adidas- the best stuff ever !!!!
22. Who's desperate now?
shrinkDave ,   miami usa   (04.05.12)
Is this all they got: boycotting a shoe company? Never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity, those Sauds.
23. ADIDAS
FABIO ,   ARGENTINA   (04.05.12)
MY NEXT TENNIS FOR EVER
24. Buying adidas today
DavidM ,   USA   (04.05.12)
I will be buying adidas running shoes today. Thanks for the tip Prince Nawaf.
25. Boycott? What does that mean for them?
Jacob ,   Holon, Israel   (04.05.12)
Does that mean they won't allow people with adidas apparell to participate or they won't buy anything? I hope it's the former just to show how much of idiots they really are. I would love to see a full boycott of the idiots who divest in companies with Israeli R&D centers like Microsoft, Intel and now Apple. No iPhones, iPads, Windows or Intel Chips for people who dislike Israel
26. Addidas
Shemaryahu ,   USA   (04.05.12)
Addidas is the good one
27. Why stop there? Boycott the Olympics.After all Arabs win
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (04.05.12)
SO many gold medals, the games will fold and why stop there boycott the Nobel prizes for science medicine etc as well. They will be sadly missed in both places.
28. Wooo Adidas!!!!
Jon   (04.05.12)
I AM BUYING ADIDAS!
29. Gonna boycott Adidas too and I'm Israeli
Ziv   (04.05.12)
You so-called "American Zionists" are the real morons. You live over there in the comfort of your country and have the hutzpa to interfere with Israeli politics?
30. And I claim Mecca and Medina because I feel like it
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (04.05.12)
And Moslems are not welcome to my Mecca and Medina. And if I don't get my Mecca and Medina I will start a holy Jewish war to liberate Mecca and Medina. What makes the Moslems think that the Kaba rock and Mecca and Medina belong to them?
