Nike pulls ‘Betsy Ross flag’ sneaker after Colin Kaepernick says it was offensive
- Thread starter rockytopva
- Start date
I have already contacted Nike via twitter
I have not contacted them and will not. There is nothing they could ever do that would make me buy another Nike product. I was done with them years ago. Leftists.
If I had anything Nike I would be tempted to send the product back to their corporate office.
Coming up next on "Politically Correct Theater":
The banning of the singing of The Star-Spangled banner because it comes from the era of slavery.
Renaming of any street, town, city, lake or landmark that contains the name of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Franklin Hamilton, Adams, Hancock, etc. because it comes from the era of slavery.

Or any state that ratified the Constitution. Or became a state during slavery.
Then they will move on to Jim Crow/Segregation. Then it will be that if you have ancestors from those eras.
Then, if you happen to be of the wrong race, or wrong color, at which point history will have come full circle.
Oh, wait. We’re already there. Never mind.
Arizona Governor Doug Pulls Incentives For Nike Plant Over Betsy Ross Shoe Controversy
“Today was supposed to be a good day in Arizona, with the announcement of a major @Nike investment in Goodyear,” said Arizona Gov Doug Docey before he dropped the hammer.
It seems Nike caved to one Colin Kaepernick, who complained about our founding flag designed by Betsy Ross, so the Arizona Governor is pulling state incentives for a Nike plant. Look, America is not a perfect place by any stretch, but this is getting ridiculous.
Ducey continued: Words cannot express my disappointment at this terrible decision. I am embarrassed for Nike.”...
...
“Nike has made its decision, and now we’re making ours. I’ve ordered the Arizona Commerce Authority to withdraw all financial incentive dollars under their discretion that the State was providing for the company to locate here.
“Arizona’s economy is doing just fine without Nike. We don’t need to suck up to companies that consciously denigrate our nation’s history.”

I wonder if Nike is doing this to boost overseas sales? The last time there was the "Kaepernick problem" everybody thought Nike's sales would tank and their stock go down, but instead non-US sales increased and the stock increased.
Well good for them. Their shoes are garbage, they just don't last. I buy Skechers at the discount retailer Burlington.

Thanks! Let freedom ring!
uh oh.....it’s racist......except when obamma had it on his inaugural stage.....twice.
Uh Oh, Guess Who Had the Betsy Ross Flag at His Inauguration

I wonder if these stupid SJWs like Colin are confusing the Betsy Ross flag with the Stars and Bars. No matter, now the proposed plant in Arizona is gone thanks to their normal governor but Newsom wants them in CA:
Gavin Newsom uses controversy over flag shoes to urge Nike to come to California
Now that would be some virtue signaling. Just do it.

I wish it were so, but it is not so innocent as that. They repeatedly demonstrate that they harbor utter hatred toward America and all of its symbols. Because of their ignorance and indoctrination, they remain beyond reason.
They have lived lives far too privileged in America, far too sheltered and isolated from the rest of the world, and far too ignorant of either history or current events to even realize that this sentence is true of them. Colin K is the poster child for these types.
