Bernie Ecclestone of Formula One In Trouble For Hitler Comments

Bernie Ecclestone, the CEO of Formula One Management, is in trouble over the comment he made about the leadership of German dictator Adolf Hitler. In an interview to The Times, Ecclestone said that Adolf Hitler was a man who got "things done," which prompted a lot of negative backlash from Ecclestone's colleagues and the World Jewish Congress. Ecclestone took on a defensive stance, saying he did not mean to offend anyone, and simply meant that "before his appalling crimes, [Hitler] acted successfully against unemployment and the economic crisis."

Ecclestone dismissed calls for his resignation in the wake of his comments. However, many have called for the boycott of Ecclestone. Some of the German officials have declined to meet with Ecclestone after his comments.
