and nothing on 'Nike tat boy' ???????

Mr. Kaepernick, who signed a lucrative deal to serve as a Nike brand ambassador last year, expressed the concern to the company that the Betsy Ross flag had been co-opted by groups espousing racist ideologies, the person said.

Sandra Carreon-John, a company spokeswoman, said in a statement on Tuesday that Nike had made the decision to “halt distribution” of the sneaker “based on concerns that it could unintentionally offend and detract from the nation’s patriotic holiday.” The company’s initial acknowledgment of the recall hours earlier did not explain the reasoning behind the decision.

While people all across the political spectrum debated the issue on social media, Gov. Doug Ducey, Republican of Arizona, announced on Twitter that he would pull back state support for a Nike facility that would have employed more than 500 people. Nike had proposed to open the $184 million plant in Goodyear, Ariz.

“Words cannot express my disappointment at this terrible decision,” Mr. Ducey said in a series of tweets, adding that Nike “has bowed to the current onslaught of political correctness and historical revisionism.”

Kaepernick isn't wrong

I'm thinking that may not be the best choice of words when referring to Colin Kaepernick.

Or maybe that was intentional on your part.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is calling on Nike to reverse its decision to pull its Independence Day-themed shoes, pledging that if they do, he will make the first purchase.

It was their decision.

Why you pickin’ on Kaep?

And they acquiesced.

Just because some hate groups use the original flag doesn't mean it's evil. Personally, I don't hold any symbols in high esteem but this one is benign.

Some people think that before the 13th amendment all of American was bad. Should we stop celebrating Independence Day? Most people today call it the 4th of July or Fireworks Day anyway. They've forgotten what it commemorates.

So, yes, they are complicit and self serving. But Tat "Guy" is the one who gets the publicity for his anti-American stunts.

Are you serious?
