Nike reportedly pulls "Betsy Ross flag" shoes over concerns from Colin Kaepernick
- Thread starter Quetzal
- Start date
This doesn't go far enuf.
We must pull down statues of Washington, Jefferson, etc.
And they must be removed from bills, lest someone be triggered about slavery.
We should even abandon DC, level it, & make it a slavery memorial.
Federal government should be relocated to someplace where slavery never existed.

Some may think the Victorians were a bit laughable,
with their excessive correctness.
One properly, for example, would not refer to the
"legs" but rather "limbs" of a table, and, they
should be covered with a table cloth, down to
the ankles, or ah, foot joint.
Ifn there is a future to look back at now, they
will shake their heads at the incredible weirdness
of the used to be.

I don't associate Betsy Ross with slavery.

Huh?

IMO, it’s proof Kapernick is anti-American and that Nike are a bunch of wimps.
It’s a sad day when the PC warriors have convinced a major company that the American flag is racist.
Is it being wimpy?
Nike sells millions of shoes to those who buy into Kap's brand of PC.
A company caters to its market.
It's good business to consider demands of influential icons.

Yes, it’s being wimpy. They cratered to the PC mob who are slowly chipping away at our history.

Just in time for the 4th of July! Looks like *planned timing* by the PC social engineers.
...Bring the two nexuses together, for maximum anti-American social change.
If Nike sold a product that was worth the money on it's own merits they wouldn't care about one dudes personal opinion about an American icon.
But their shoes are wildly overpriced because it's more profitable to rely on celebrity endorsement than a superior product. So, their business model puts them at the mercy of people like Kaep.

The PC "mob" is their customer base.
They sell a product which is very image based.
Accuracy, knowledge of, & respect for history are entirely irrelevant.

Their shoes, IMO, are extremely ugly.
But I do like the Hurley brand which is owned by them.

Flag Code of Conduct:
§8. Respect for flag
d. The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
A lot of false patriots tut-tutting about **** they don't know crap about.
FYI (to all)....
I'm not a patriot.
But I recognize PC insanity when I see it.

Forum rules prevent me from giving my honest opinion of Colin Kaepernick. So I'll just say that I couldn't care less about what that individual thinks. Just throw the damn ball and shut up.
Outrageous and stupid. Who the hell associates the making of the American flag with slavery? I've never heard this. Colin is bonkers. It's not like he is an actual human rights activist when Nike shoes are made in sweat shops. He's a huge fake and hypocrite.

Who cares. I wear one under my hard hat as a sun blocker. It's dirty and sweaty, and I love it.
