    Shoe on the other foot...

    So, comrade Kepernick finds a Revolutionary Era flag ‘offensive’. Frankly, doesn’t he find any US flag offensive? Full Frick’n Stupid.

    Nike knows its customer base. it bothers me that people equate the American Revolution with slavery but then again I don't buy their.shoes.

    It is ironic that the sweatshops where Nike shoes are made are about 1° removed from modern slavery.


    P.S. Arizona just told Nike "GFY"

    I shall never know the struggle of being a half black white boy raised by well off white parents who cries himself to sleep every night with his millions of dollars lamenting the plight of the modern day Negro not getting any justice


    Meanwhile....

    I hope the historical rap video channel does a Betsy Ross versus Comrade Kap video.

    Apparently, Nike canceled the shoe after they'd already started shipping.

    I thought I'd try to find a pair.

    LOL, NOPE.

    Nike "Betsy Ross flag" sneakers selling for more than $2000 on StockX - CBS News

    I'd think that any store manager that saw a recall, would have the presence of mind to have already sold them or lost them.

    I just did a chat with Ni..... that company whose name will never again escape my lips.

    "Recalling those shoes was a mistake. I will never again even utter the name of your company much less buy your product. The one pair of Nxxxs I had went on the campfire tonight. That is the American Revolution we're taking about, the event that birthed our very country.... our great country. That guy does not get to wish it away."

    The response: "Oh no! We hate to think of you discarding Nxxxs that way! They should be properly recycled to avoid hazzards (sic) and environmental damage. Here's our link with info on how to do that. Thank you for contacting Nxxx with your feedback!"
