Nike is a private company. Thanks to our freedoms in America, they can whatever they want.

My personal opinion on what someone/something (company) does is irrelevant.

That said, I support Nike 100%. Just like I support Chik-Fil-A 100% when they support ANTI-LGBTQ projects.

I love America.

This too. But I never did even before all of this came about. It's just one of those things. I always liked either Sketchers or Reebok instead. Or I would just get the store name brand. Nothing more stupider than wasting money on over expensive materialistic things when I can use the money for something more enjoyable. Like another horse.

I'm waiting for one. Not on bated breath though...

Nike decided not to sell so,etching. More non issues for conservatives to flip out over instead of worrying about important issues. Enjoy. Happy 4th.
Listening to thin-skinned Blacks won't move our Nation forward. Let's get back to changing street names and toppling statues, eh?

Nike is in my rear view mirror. There's plenty of other athletic wear companies to choose from who are focused on the customer, instead of the topic/debate/the hot button of the day and advancing that message.
Like anything, vote with your wallet. Stop purchasing Nike products if you disagree with their political stances and their support of an athlete's agenda.
I agree and I'm a Niners fan! Kap can take a hike. I used to buy Nike products all the time. No longer. If you annoy me, you don't get my business any more.

Never liked the idea of the flag on anything you wear. In this case it's on the heel of red white and blue sneaker. I have Red Wing boots that come with a little pendant that goes on the bottom lace and that's the extent of anything I own that is wearable with the flag on it, mine are actually made in the USA though. The pendant is used for promotion at the store.

They are little better than Krupp Steel during WWII when they used death camp labor. People die in Nike factories every day and the SJW’s just don’t care.

Flags don't need to be on your shoes or feet anyway - that's disrespectful. And they should have started with the current American flag anyway with all 50 stars.

Exactly. The anti American Lefties are trying to use some flag code. You can BURN the American flag if you want. All protected by the First Amendment and Free Speech. Another America Hater schooled. Thank you.
