Or, "Nike Acquieses to popular Human Rights Activist." 

https://6abc.com/business/wsj-nike-cancels-betsy-ross-flag-sneakers-after-kaepernick-concerns/5374682/


The Wall Street Journal reports the launch of the Air Max 1 USA sneakers, meant for Monday, was canceled after Kaepernick, one of the brand's most recognizable and controversial faces, intervened.

He reportedly told execs the design, featuring the U.S. flag with 13 white stars in a circle on the heel, was considered offensive to some "because of its connection to an era of slavery."

"After shipping the shoes to retailers, Nike asked for them to be returned without explaining why," people familiar with the matter told the Journal.

Only assholes want to wear the flag on their feet in the first place.

What next? The Liberty Bell? Declaration of Independence?

He is so good at pissing off the snowflakes. Love me some Kap.

Well, it won’t be an NFL emblem, that’s for sure.

The shoe design was tacky. Kap’s objection is stupid. The reaction to it is ludicrous.

Fake outrage over a shoe design followed by fake outrage over its cancellation. Everyone involved in this story sucks

Sneakers that come with prison orange shackles to wrap around your ankles?

That was Adidas' idea for the "JS Roundhouse Mids" it planned to start selling in August. It was to be "a sneaker ... so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles."

Manufactured controversy and outrage over Kaepernick and the "symbolism".  While ignoring the real symbolism of a pair of shitty overpriced shoes, made by sweatshop labor in Asian countries featuring an obsolete flag, while the people angry about it drape themselves in it both literally and figuratively.   Murica!!!

Oh and Anastasis that isn't directed at you, just was using your picture.

Seriously.  Those are some ugly fucking shoes. 

I’m ignorant of what else Kaep is doing regarding his cause. But wonder if we’ll start seeing stories of what’s next steps for his activism. Is there a non profit he’s working with to advance civil rights? Policy reform? Education? He’s got his message/stance down pat for sure.

Not on Kaep’s side on this one. 

Me either, but I'm not convinced what's reported is what is actually happened.

Kaepernick established the Colin Kaepernick Foundation, a non-profit organization with the primary focus of fighting oppression through education and social activism. The Million Dollar Pledge, a program in which Kaepernick vowed to donate $1 million to charity, has been a hallmark component of the organization. Kaepernick has donated to a large number of causes, including Mothers Against Police Brutality, School on Wheels and Youth Services, Inc. In addition, Kaepernick has established the “Know Your Rights Camp, ” an enterprise fully funded by Kaepernick to raise awareness on higher education, self-empowerment and to instruct others on how to properly interact with law enforcement.

And I believe it exceeded $1 million. 

Ted is angling for Trump's base. I don't think he has the demagogue style down, but I never thought Trump had a chance, either.

All this revisionist history shit is getting tiresome.  All it takes is one thread on reddit and you could have two black dudes kissing be the new symbol of white supremacy.

Just went down to Foot Locker and bought a few thousand dollars worth of Nikes, going to burn them in my backyard tonight to own the libs.

I only bought one pair, but I burned the shoes while I was wearing them. Self-inflicted disfigurement and never waking again to own the libs and uppity mobile quarterbacks. 

so, some shoes you were never going to buy are now never going to be on sale. 

OUTRAGE I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS DESECRATION OF THE FLAG FUCK NIKE RAWR

Love that this actually led Arizona’s governor to do a good thing for the dumbest possible reason.

Oh, I agree 100% with your take. 

I might not agree with what you say, but I will send somebody to fight to the death for something totally unrelated to American Freedom to defend my delusion that I'm a great American.

Oh yea, Fuck your feelings.

Da fuq is Betsy gonna do about it? 

She dead. 

The lines are already forming for some sweet kicks to match the championships tees.

He's also too brown.  While he may be good enough to be their token Mexican Cuban, he doesn't get to be their leader like white man Trump.
