Cleaning up Kanye West, Kyrie Irving’s antisemitic mess appeared on www.cincinnati.com by The Enquirer.

As Ecclesiastes says, there is nothing new under the sun. So too with antisemitism: it has existed in one form or another for as long as Jews have. Nevertheless, we are now in uncharted waters when it comes to antisemitism in the United States. The impetus? Kanye West and Kyrie Irving’s recent forays into Jew-hatred, coupled with the tools of social media. Allow me to offer three key lessons learned through the debacle.

First, the old adage is apparently truer now than ever: You can judge a man ? a person ? by his shoes. Specifically, their sneakers. As fashionable as Yeezys might be, today they raise some big questions. Of course, it’s not really about the shoes ? instead, it’s the message. In the past few weeks, too many times for comfort, I have had Jewish peers and family members tell me they’ve spoken with non-Jewish friends and have been told something akin to “I disagree with West/Irving, but….”

Real allyship doesn’t work that way. If you want to be anti-antisemitic (in the same way that you might want to be anti-racist), there are no “buts.” The safety of your allies must come first ? before music, or basketball, or shoes.

A sign advertises Yeezy shoes made by Adidas at Kickclusive, a sneaker resale store, in Paramus, N.J., Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2022. Adidas has ended its partnership with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West over his offensive and antisemitic remarks, the latest company to cut ties with Ye and a decision that the German sportswear company said would hit its bottom line.

Speaking of shoes, a second takeaway: Don’t be an Adidas. It took Adidas weeks of deliberation and public pressure before cutting ties with Kanye. Undoubtedly, they had some major calculations to make. How much money would they hemorrhage if they stopped selling those uber-popular sneakers? If they kept selling them, how much reputational damage would be caused, and to what extent would that result in financial harm?
