We guess Kaepernick is calling the shots for Nike now…
Nike was forced to recall an American flag-themed sneaker called the “Betsy Ross” from production. NFL quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, felt the Besty Ross shoes were “offensive”. Kaepernick, who no longer plays in the NFL, is focusing on being a political activist and has apparently become a spokesperson for Nike.
The “Betsy Ross” sneaker was created in celebration of the July Fourth holiday. The sneaker has been described as, “..the heel of the shoe featured a U.S. flag with 13 white stars in a circle, a design created during the American Revolution and commonly referred to as the Betsy Ross flag.”
However, because of Kaepernick’s complaint, the shoes are no longer going to be sold. Kaepernick and other felt that the shoe could be constructed as a symbol of approval for slavery, white nationalism, and white supremacy.
Do you think Kaepernick has the right to tell Nike what to do?
I will never buy Nike
I a Vietnam Veteran will never buy another pair of Nike or Apparel clothing as this so-called racist, not Trump but this nut and non- American who Nike supports spitting on my Vietnam killed in action grave and all Veterans and Soldiers with sacrificed lives on streets for this guy, unbelievable any sporting company would ever pay or give him nothing but a kick on a 1 way ticket to where he thinks like a liberal pro-abortion ungodly DNC supporter who ruined the NFL for us x fans, ticket and Nike clothes purchases and yes for 2 years not watched and never will again until the like of this radical self-righteous whatever he is certainly not a Patriot in the USA and shame on NIKE as good guys like Jordan, Barkley, Magic and Bird true American that fans loved Nike with their names have to suffer from this guy.
I had four Nike Golf Shirts. I through everyone in the garbage. NIKE & Kaepernick are a POS.
You got that right! That Flag is not racist, it is a Flag of Freedom, which indeed freed the Slaves which Islamic slave traders brought to the USA with the help of the Democrats!
Customers at New Balance stores should ask for a patriotic shoe with Betsy Ross’s flag since Nike chooses to not be patriotic.
If Nike wants to follow kaepernick let them see that there are two sides to every position and it could cost them in their pocketbook.
For what the racist himself ruined the game of NFL with his ungodly liberal ways and disrespect toward all war veterans and others, All Law Enforcement and Veteran and true USA Citizen excluding Colin for disrespect to our American flag and song meant for those remembered mainly in combat and the streets of the USA give someone like you undeserved freedom and should receive nothing but a 1 way ticket that would kill you for disrespect toward their country as most of us do not buy NFL tickets or watch games on T V and certainly do not buy NFL apparel. A Michael Jordan, Barley, Tiger, Larry Bird you are not even on a list except hating the what the USA stands for, shame on Nike as names mentioned are realUSA Patriots of any race or color.
Why in the world would Nike kowtow to Kapernick?!?!?!?!!!! He is a disgrace to this Country and our military! It’s too bad the draft isn’t in existence any longer as he would be a great candidate to draft and put on the front lines!!!! Maybe then he’d think & act differently toward our Country! Here’s a concept Kapernick, don’t buy the sneakers since you think they’re offensive. Another example of trying to shove the Leftist’s beliefs down other people’s throat! Nike had ought to re-consider their decision of taking the “patriotic” sneakers off the market & quit taking the advice of a Traitor.
No nikes for me.
THAT’S WHY I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER PAIR OF NIKE SHOES.. IF THEY ARE GOING TO LET THIS WORTHLESS PILE OF MONKEY CRAP RUIN OF COMPANIES FUTURE SO BE IT ! EVERYBODY

NEEDS TO BE TAKEN BEHIND THE DEPLORABLE WOOD SHED AND TAUGHT A LESSON OF RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE THAN JUST HIM..

“We guess Kaepernick is calling the shots for Nike now…”
Kaepernick couldn’t make the right call when it was just him and ten other guys, why would anyone think he is qualified to call the shots for a large multinational corporation?
Hey Colin KeeperDick go to Canada where they want to hear your lies you are no American and the adoptive Parents sadly must have repeatedly dropped you on your head!
I SAY BOYCOTT NIKE HERE IN THIS COUNTRY NOW. STOP THEM FROM SELLING ONE MORE PAIR OF SHOES HERE.
I WILL NEVER BUY NIKE WE WILL BOYCOTT NIKE
