Nike pulls shoe after Kaepernick expresses concern

In a decision that will thrust Nike into the spotlight of corporations walking a tightrope between product and historic symbolism, the athletic giant has pulled an American flag-themed shoe from circulation after former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick expressed concern to the company about selling apparel he says features a slave-era emblem.
quote:
According to a source who spoke with Yahoo Sports, Nike began a movement to pull the shoe from stores nearly two weeks ago after Kaepernick and others raised concern that the “Betsy Ross Flag” printed on the heel of the company’s 4th of July-themed Air Max 1 was not only racially insensitive, but had also been adopted by some groups such as the Patriot Movement and Identity Evropa (pronounced “Europa”) allegedly as a symbol of white nationalism.

Sad.
Whatever. Nike sucks anyway. I prefer UnderArmour even before this
It’s a much better product.
Not a boycott since I never bought it, but I will now boycott

I’m sorry, but why are we continuing to pander to these clowns. There’s nothing racist about that shoe at all

Things holding Kaepernick down: Slow release, inconsistent accuracy, self created media circus, entitled attitude
Things not holding Kaepernick down: Whitey

At least we know they're running out of things to be offended by. This is just ridiculous.

I got the flag on my feets and my feets on the ground.
Not now. I'm triggered.

Don’t forget the woke pussy that started it all.

What a fricking pussy

It’s funny, you never hear of this cocksucker going after Nike for using slave labor to make their shoes. It’s almost as if he’s only doing it for money/recognition.

Every company and every celebrity these days wants to be an activist. Just saw this commercial last night.
