Nike Drops Fourth of July Sneaker

Nike pulls it's latest sneaker from stores after Kaepernick objects to the American flag on them. Shame on Nike for catering to that over-privileged POS.

I have a firecracker I'd like to put somewhere enlightening...

That was the message ex-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick delivered to Nike over the planned release of a USA-themed sneaker, which featured a Betsy Ross flag on the heel, according to a report.

Nike nixed the released of the Air Max 1 USA after having already sent the sneakers to retailers because the protesting quarterback said he felt the use of the Betsy Ross flag was offensive and carried slavery connotations, sources told The Wall Street Journal.
