Nike can do what they want. As a consumer I can avoid purchasing anything Nike and discouraging anyone else from purchasing their products. | |||

New Balance 880 here, I switched from Nike Air Pegasus right after the 2016 election when New Balance caught grief for putting out a tweet (or press release) congratulating Trump. | |||

I’m with Ensigmatic on this one. I’m not angry about anything Nike does. Krapernick can go shit in his hat as far as I’m concerned. No, this, for me, is more about pushing back against the ever-widening scope of what the leftists are declaring hateful at worst or insensitive at the least. It was in an article linked here or on another forum that the Betsy Ross flag is being used by “right wing extremists” that really made me scratch my head. These clowns want to erase our history because they don’t like it, so everything they try to wipe away, I’m going to push back against. If someone wants to laugh at me for flying some flags from our history because of it, hey, have at. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I thought this was a hoax at first. Hard to fathom. Nike doesn't want to celebrate Revolutionary America. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Is this from a chapter in Atlas Shrugged? _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” Ayn Rand “If we relinquish our rights because of fear, what is it exactly, then, we are fighting for?” Sen.

She wasn't ANTIFA  Side note, I haven't bought Nike apparel or golf equipment for years. I would boycott them but I can't because their merchandise sucks and I don't buy it. | |||

So nobody at Nike or even Krapperdick has claimed that Betsy Ross herself is a symbol of slavery or racism. The "objection" is that the flag she designed is offensive because it is a symbol of the country from a time when slavery was legal. So what Nike is basically saying is the the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and any other symbol of the nation from the Revolutionary era are equally offensive. I would love to see to try to explain themselves out of that predicament. | |||

New Balance has had my business for the last eight years or so. Nike will never see another penny from me. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

I wonder if whoever made this decision at nike may have finally added that final straw? It will be interesting to see if there are any changes in the roster of the upper echelon at nike in the near future? | |||
