1. And this is why this nation is dying from the inside

2. Why has no one mentioned the Betsy Ross was a Quaker. The group the helped hundreds of runaway slaves find freedom, and helped make the underground Railroad. Guess we just look at a person skin Instead of thier deeds.

3. Why was Arizona going to give Nike $2 million in welfare? They don't need it.

4. These blacks need to quit looking back at the past especially the ones that weren’t even alive during the 60s when segregation was going on and even slavery when no one alive today was a slave. Quit whining and belly aching sayin “aww he has a better life than me” or “ the whites get treated better” because well that really ain’t so. You have all the rights and privileges as everyone in this country. Your able to get jobs, go where ever you want and your not denied anything because of your color. And if you are then I’d really like to know who did because any black I see is pretty damn happy. They just feel the need to make the whites feel guilty for slavery when none of us were alive and I refuse to apologize and feel I’m responsible for all that. Quit bringing up the past and live your life. Y’all waste so much energy worrying about racism, yeah it’s not a good thing but there’s not a damn thing your gonna do about it because it’s always been around and it’s always gonna be around that’s just the world we live in. But just because your ancestors were treated that way doesn’t mean your entitled to special treatments just because your black!

5. This country ain’t worth a shit no more! Really it ain’t. It’s turning into pussy land. Everyone is afraid of everything and you can’t speak your mind no more because everyone is afraid that some asshole might get offended and people are telling us we can’t own certain guns and if you spank you kid you’ll go to jail. I mean really it’s ridiculous. Hell a good example is the president Trump. He says something that some little pansy ass bitch doesn’t like and they go cry about how it hurt there feelings. That’s what we need in America again someone with a back bone to them that ain’t afraid to say what they want even if some pusscake gets his feelings hurt

6. Are you serious praise the flag and throw Kaepernick out of the country he is a piece of garbage.

7. I say we hang them all in trees and be done with them

8. What are these spooks up to these days

9. WE USED TO CALL PEOPLE LI KE KAP A POSSSER????????????? WHAT HE IS ?????????? MANUFACTURED PHONEY?????????

10. PUBLIC critiscim? One one I have heard of is from the NFL loser. Shame on Nike….

11. Any other brand shoes take advantage of making shoes with the betsy rose flag on it to show to all the people who believe with the patriotic to our flag of America and in sure that anyone have the freedom to buy and wear it.

12. How is it racist . When it was hung at President Obama inauguration.

13. Heres how dumb this shit is Obama had this flying during his inauguration. Also betsy Ross was a Quaker. I can see the southren flag being something that represents slavery but not this flag.

14. fuck you nike!

15. What Kaepernick and Al Bundy have in common?

    They both sucked at football and became shoe salesmen.

    🤡🇺🇸🤡🇺🇸🤡🇺🇸🤡🇺🇸

16. Fake news! There wasn’t any public outcry! There was Colin Kaperjackoff being a cry baby once again! Just like his kneeling bs during the National Anthem. The Betsy Ross flag has ties to slavery. Yeah well so does cotton! We banning that next? Where does it end?

17. Assbites. We stand with the best people in our country's history. Betsy Ross was a member of a devout Quaker community in Philadelphia which led one of the earliest of anti-slavery movements in our country's history. Her state, Pennsylvania, was the 1st to abolish slavery, 7 years before the constitution! In a time where too few had rights, a strong woman created a symbol that would help unite this great country."

18. ANY MORON CAN LOOK UP THE UNITED STATES FLAG CODE. PLEASE DO. It plainly states that the flag should not be used in advertising or on clothing of any kind unless it is a military uniform. SO those of us who actually READ and prefer to abide by the United States flag code, the laws and the constitution would be offended. But then there are the racist trump followers who are always looking for a way to put down any black person standing up for something right.

19. Funny how this is somehow offensive now, where was the issue back when the same flag was flown behind barrack Obama at his 2nd inauguration????? Not offensive then, but all of a sudden is now. Pathetic

20. So the Betsy Ross Flag represents the original 13 colonies that made up colonial America; so tell me is that inclusive or exclusive because the majority of Americans didn't come from the original 13 colonies. I'm sure I won't get a response to this post, decimation .

21. How was that our flag; when I'm not a descendant of the people who made up the original 13 colonies .

22. What about this letting Nike sell them online . those who want to buy can purchase them .

23. Over emotional loser's Democrat's

24. That flag was perfectly fine for Obama during his inauguration. Obama actually had two of those flags. MLK's niece just called Kapernick a fool for not knowing that the Betsy Ross Flag represents anti-slavery. So happy that Nike took such big self-inflicted losses out of ignorance and fear. LOL. Keep it up. Maybe they can tank their whole company.

25. Fuck that flag

26. Well just ordered my Betsy Ross flag to fly at home and my BR flag pin to wear. By the way Colin Kaepernick is offence to me so maybe Nike should drop him!!!!!!!! Maybe Kaepernick is secretly working for the flag company to drum up business, he is kind of sneaky

27. Obama flew this flag at his 2nd inauguration. So ?

28. Capernik is an idiot,hes the reason in dont watch football,& wear nies.vetrans dont forget stupid ,stupid

29. Nike and Colin are a fucken JOKE!

30. I guess flags are offensive now NO MORE FLAGS YOU RACISTS

31. Nike yanks Betsy Ross flag sneaker after (public) criticism! So Kaepernick, is the spokesperson for America now?!? Since when is all I need to know.

32. Remember, slave labor is awesome as long as it's in a Nike sweatshop!!

33. They should have made the flag Black & upside down…….then i would have bought them.

34. Nike shit is it's mess kit again.

35. Can we ban Democrats ? Democrats were the only ones who owned slaves in this country. PLEASE ?

36. I will NEVER understand the left’s hatred for this country.

37. Note to self…boycott Nike stuff
    Tells friends / family to do same

38. Colin just exposed himself and his movement is nothing more than anit=American, nothing more. That flag had nothing to do with racism, it was for freedom. As far as Nike, well, never mix politics with business. I know I will not buy another Nike but that decision came a long time ago.

39. This is America go live somewhere else if you don't wanna see American things

40. The Colonial Flag offends Kaepernick and Nike? The Taliban were also offended by 1,700 year old Buddhist statues so blew them apart.

41. Ugly shoe anyway!

42. To hell wih anti-american blacks. They were sold by Africans. And Colin is a puke.
