Colin Kaepernick Asks Nike To Pull "Betsy Ross Flag" Air Max

We all know how Colin Kaepernick feels about the injustice of black men. Of course he started the whole kneeling thing during the national anthem before NFL games. While some people didn't care for his move, which became a big thing, Nike supported him and even got Colin on as an influencer. Well he definitely has some influence with the company because they were getting ready to release their Betsy Ross American Flag Air Max and Colin asked them to pull the shoe, according to reports. The shoes were to feature the flag that was designed by Betsy Ross, on the back of the shoe. According to Wall Street Journal, the shoe was supposed to go on sale this week in time for July 4th, but when Colin explained the symbolism of the flag on the shoes was offensive to people because it was during a time of slavery, Nike decided to pull the shoe. And on top of all of that, there were a lot of people who agreed with Colin, leaving tweets and of course, you had people disagreeing, saying he was thinking too deep about the shoes.
