Nike Pulls ‘Betsy Ross Flag’ Sneakers After Kaepernick Complaint Complaint
Nike Pulls ‘Betsy Ross Flag’ Sneakers After Kaepernik Complaint. We guess Kaepernik is now in charge of Nike. Here’s to hoping they turn into the Dick’s Sporting Goods of sportswear. In the meantime no more Nike anything for us. Good for Governor Ducey, too.
Nike Inc.’s decision to pull Fourth of July sneakers from stores because they featured a “Betsy Ross Flag” has dragged the sports apparel maker once again into America’s culture wars and drew ire from conservative lawmakers claiming political correctness has gone too far.
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, a Republican, tweeted that he was “embarrassed” for Nike and said he had “ordered the Arizona Commerce Authority to withdraw all financial incentive dollars” that the state was planning to offer the company to open a manufacturing plant near Phoenix. Republican Senator Ted Cruz tweeted that it’s a good thing Nike “only wants to sell sneakers to people who hate the American flag.”

Packers players are joined by fans in linking arms during national anthem
Packers players are joined by fans in linking arms during national anthem. IMO not very many fans locked arms. We deliberately watched CBS until the National Anthem was over and I don’t remember seeing anyone with locked arms in the stands although it appears CBS found 4 guys. The teams standing and locking arms is OK with us as long as no one’s sitting during the Anthem.
DirecTV Will Allow Angry Customers To Request NFL Refunds
DirecTV Will Allow Angry Customers To Request NFL Refunds. If you don’t like your NFL you don’t have to keep your NFL.
Chris Baker, who lives in Indiana, told the WSJ that he reluctantly canceled his Sunday Ticket subscription, but not precisely as a response to the protests. “I explained to them I was tired of politics in sports, and it’s not how I want to spend my Sunday, watching all that transpire,” he said he told a DirecTV representative. He said the representative “insinuated there was a high volume of calls calling in to cancel.”
