A group of vandals smashed the windows and doors at the Adidas headquarters in Democrat-led Portland in protest of the shoe company's support of the World Cup in Qatar. 

Nine people from Abolition Media were responsible for the vandalism that occurred  at the headquarters on November 20 around 1.48am, police said. The group wore ski googles and masks as they smashed about 50 windows and doors, and poured blue paint around the building. 

FIFA controversially awarded Qatar the 2022 World Cup in 2010. Since then, more than 6,500 migrant workers have perished in the Middle Eastern country as it has fashioned cities, roads and stadiums out of the desert sand. 

The group claimed to have destroyed the property on the day the international soccer tournament kicked off since Adidas has been a longtime supporter of the World Cup that has led to 'death and displacement.' 

'The history of the World Cup is one of death and displacement,' Abolition Media wrote in a confession statement. 'Every stadium stands upon the dead bodies of the workers who built it.

'In Qatar, over 6,500 migrant workers from South Asia died during the decade of preparations for the 2022 World Cup, forced to work in slave conditions.' 

The group admitted to shattering the windows and covering the campus, including the gym and cafe with paint, and said it was because companies like Adidas enable the 'endless violence.'  

The author further said that the attack was first of many on FIFA company supporters this month. It's unclear if any arrests have been made.

Abolition Media blamed The World Cup for the displacement of hundreds of thousands of migrants that 'were forced into labor through a combination of physical violence, threats of imprisonments, passport confiscation, debt bondage, and more.'
