Here's the whole story from TMZ:

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.

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.

I'm getting offended by all these hypocrites that are

offended by the flag of the very Nation that has

given them a lavish lifestyle to live....

and they DO NOT appreciate it in the slightest!

They offend me continually....like every time they

open their mouths!


I'm also tired of the left being offended by everything!

Yep. 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...

All because most people, as a general rule, never blurt out comments like, Why the hell are you so goddamn liberal, so idiotically liberal? What the hell is wrong with you?

Has all your liberalism snuffed out your honesty, common sense, ethics and compassion?

Please understand that Nike only designed the shoe so it could be pulled. That way they look like the good guys not wanting to offend. Pathetic
