The company issued a statement on Oct.

CNN reports that the phrase is categorized as a “hate slogan” by the Anti-Defamation League.

It is often used by white supremacists such as the Ku Klux Klan.

Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt commended Adidas for its action.

It illustrates that antisemitism is unacceptable and creates consequences.

Without a doubt, Adidas has done the right thing by cutting ties with Ye after his vicious antisemitic rants, Jonathan Greenblatt, Anti-Defamation League CEO, via CNN.

In the end, Adidas’ action sends a powerful message that antisemitism and bigotry have no place in society, Jonathan Greenblatt, Anti-Defamation League CEO, via CNN.

Last week, 'Vogue' and Balenciaga also cut ties with Ye
