OldBrownsFan Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 The most un-American ex-NFL football player that I know of lived up to his reputation, forcing Nike to pull a shoe from production because it had a Betsy Ross verison of the American flag on it: FOX NEWS – Just don’t do it. That was the message ex-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick delivered to Nike over the planned release of a USA-themed sneaker, which featured a Betsy Ross flag on the heel, according to a report. Nike nixed the released of the Air Max 1 USA after having already sent the sneakers to retailers because the protesting quarterback said he felt the use of the Betsy Ross flag was offensive and carried slavery connotations, sources told The Wall Street Journal. Citing people familiar with the matter, the Journal’s report stated: “After images of the shoe were posted online, Mr. Kaepernick, a Nike endorser, reached out to company officials saying that he and others felt the Betsy Ross flag is an offensive symbol because of its connection to an era of slavery.” In response, a Nike spokeswoman told the Journal: “Nike has chosen not to release the Air Max 1 Quick Strike Fourth of July as it featured the old version of the American flag.” The sneaker originally was slated to be released on Monday, and posts hyping its release said it would cost $140. Kaepernick and Nike deserve each other. So honestly I don’t really even care because I’ll never buy a Nike shoe. https://therightscoop.com/nike-just-pulled-american-flag-shoe-because-kaepernick-said-it-was-offensive/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 you'd thing Nike would have done their homework and learned themselves that the ross flag is used by a couple white supremacist groups...and not have to be told by Kaepernick.

Right. Because we all move in lockstep with racists. So anything they touch, they own? Sounds empowering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach much?. Even if true, which it's not, Nike had no obligation to do "homework" on who used the legitimate flag representing the 13 original colonies. Who used it is irrelevant knucklehead. And if there was anything positive gained by Nike doing homework, they would have learned that the current Stars and Striped existed during the time of slavery as well. You know white supremacists use the Stars and Stripes too right? Do yourself a favor and stop trying to rationalize shit that's beyond absurd to try and look smart, it tends to backfire exposing yourself as being more stupid then you normally are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Companies dont want to associate their brand witj undesireable shit, right? The ross flag in and of itself isnt offensive but neuther was the confederate flag until racist pos's like urself usurped it into the white nationalist movement. Perception often trumps reality. Companies in the free market have to often deal with perceptions that are often irrational. Like starbucks being "anti christmas".....stop trying to intellectually hang with me che.
