Attention Nike: The flag Colin Kaepernick told you was unacceptable on your shoes was displayed rather prominently at Barack Obama's inauguration. LINK

History and double standards do not matter to the mentally ill or sociopaths.

Also an interesting point in this Obama inauguration photo.
The 21 Star flag celebrating Illinois flew for only one year, under President James Monroe, a slave owner!

Marketing 101. Bring attention to product. No such thing as bad publicity. Increase public awareness. Do a 180 and reverse policy. Sell a shitload of shoes. End lesson.

The country wasn’t ready for the wokeness back then. We’re much better now.

That was back before Kaepernick decided to identify as Angela Davis.

The Betsy Ross flag is the American Flag. If we are to follow this logic, then the current rendition should also be offensive.

If everything about the founding of our nation is invalid due to the sins of our Founding Fathers, then we might as well rip up the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Let’s not forget about the Philadelphia 76ers and their uniforms.

Nike uniforms!

I would strongly suggest that they end up with a different shoe on the market, sans flag, that Nike tells everyone they forced past colon.
