Anonymous Coward User ID: 77027228 07/02/2019 02:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's the whole story from TMZ: Quoting: 1guynAz COLIN KAEPERNICK CONVINCES NIKE TO YANK BETSY ROSS FLAG SHOE Colin Kaepernick apparently has a lot of influence over Nike ... because the quarterback-turned-activist convinced Nike to nix plans to sell a flag-themed sneaker Kap considered offensive. The sneaker giant was set to put a new colorway of its popular Air Max 1 sneaker on the market this week, featuring an old U.S. flag with 13 stars from the American Revolution ... but according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Nike pulled the shoe before it went on sale because Kaepernick complained. Nike even sent the sneakers to retailers, but then the company asked to have the merchandise back. Kaepernick, who is endorsed by Nike, reportedly reached out to The Swoosh with huge concerns after images of the shoe with the Betsy Ross flag started being posted online ... he thinks the imagery is offensive because of its connection to slavery. We're told Kaep also took issue with the fact that two prominent white nationalist groups -- including the Patriot movement -- use the flag as a symbol for their group. Bad look @Nike for these Betsy Ross Air Max. Smdh.... pic.twitter.com/u8Q8IMAUbg — Glass City Pete (@DadudeSHONUFF81) June 25, 2019 @DadudeSHONUFF81 Kap was not alone in his criticism, tons of users on social media reacted to the imagery with similar concerns. According to the Smithsonian, the Betsy Ross flag was created way back in the 1770s and its 13 white stars represent the 13 original colonies.

This country founded by white men and our three major sports invented by white men should overlook our proud heritage because of these delicate flowers... And slavery has probably affected more whites than anyone else but that history doesn't matter ... SMDH Kap. History is about more than one sect of the population... |

PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |
