She is a prominent person who wears a hijab. It doesn't matter what medal she won. Companies want to associate themselves with people who are in the public eye in a positive way. You seem to think them doing this is in some way disrespectful to the other people that competed. There are millions of little girls around the world who will connect with this doll. It's a much better business plan than making a doll of someone very few people have heard of. Not to mention all the free publicity they are getting from this.
