Another said:"Nike is pulling American flag shoes, and they expect us to listen to their complaints about Trump's China tariffs? It's abundantly clear these multinational corporations have lost their loyalty to our country."
Another wrote:"I'm an AF vet and mom of two active duty Army. We love the flag. Nike will be our running shoe of choice. Watch their stock go up!" It is not clear what pressure Kaepernick brought to bear on Nike. The former quarterback played for the San Francisco 49ers and in 2016 he knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial inequality.
Last week, Nike withdrew a limited edition shoe from China after its Japanese designer expressed support of the Hong Kong protests, Bloomberg reported.
Politicians pouncing like cockroaches on this.....uh...rather: Cockroach-like politicians leap on Nike (and ignore tortured children on Texas border)
tedcruz So sad
tedcruz I thought Kaepernick was protesting police brutality......hummmmm turns out that wasn’t true after all!!! Shocker!!!
Ted Cruz let trump call his father a killer and his wife ugly. Then Ted Cruz kissed trump's $$.
tedcruz Can you believe this ted? What I’m curious is what the flag stands for to you? I know blood, honor and pride runs in your “family, but the flag represents something else to the rest of the country(well majority of).
tedcruz
tedcruz aahh, what can you say? he does crave the spotlight.
tedcruz You are Canadian. Go back to Canada.
tedcruz The American flag doesn’t belong on a filthy old shoe. Save your outrage.
Ditch the beard, it makes you look goofy and old and more out of touch! tedcruz
yoakumgirl923 Maybe Cappy can buy all their shoes and keep them in business.
tedcruz Ted Cruz = Delusional...........
tedcruz I totally agree with Ted Cruze, and I'm not buying anymore Nike products
tedcruz Made in china, slap tariffs on those shoes
shame on you Ted cruz.Speaking the truth is not hating the offensive American flag!But hey you r the hater in chief,u should know!
tedcruz Nike lost my business also. Bet AOC on the Nike would be okay. Hope many more will not buy Nike. Sketchers and New Balance are pretty cool!
That's Ted Cruz and his stupidity in action
Good grief that man is insufferably dumb.
IMAGINE IF NIKE BAKED WEDDING CAKE'S.....IF I WANT ANY SHIT FROM KKKOLIN KAPERNICK... I'LL SQUEEZE HIS HEAD!!!
Sit down wolfman.. nobody cares what you think.
Do you think that maybe... some day.... Ted Cruz will have the good sense to keep his entitled white male person out of places it doesn't belong?
tedcruz Man tedcruz hates personal freedom doesn't he. After suggesting in a congressional hearing that Google should monitor the private political contributions of it's employees he is now suggesting that the Government compel a private company to carry a product.
tedcruz Like Nike cares
But love our enemies
tedcruz Stop buying Nike
tedcruz Yes! Go Ted go!
tedcruz Call NIKE & complain. All they understand is MONEY!
tedcruz I would hope that this sparks a huge backlash....Enough is enough.. Every country has its problems and is not perfect, but to disrespect the flag like this is reprehensible,
tedcruz Doesn’t he have bills to pass or something other than being a gossip drama queen... for the life of me I don’t know why people voted for this fake as his name Cuban Canadian who can be bought to the highest bidder....!!!! What a shame....
tedcruz I got your socialist message three RTs ago.
Mr. Cruz: You are always on the wrong side of any important issue - you just don't get it!!
To those who hate the USA and our AWESOME flag and the TRUE HEROES who fought & died under it for our FREEDOM, this is for you: GodBlessTheUSA!!!!!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
tedcruz neverNike
tedcruz There are always companies , people hate America in history. Nike is not first one.. why everyone is so angry..
tedcruz TED CRUZ is a Fidel Castro....Maker...people like him Created Castro with their EVIL
tedcruz Nike is a lame brand. pleanty is great alternatives like New Balance!!
tedcruz Ted Cruz blasts a lot of things.
tedcruz More talk from tedcruz. I want action, Ted!
Sit down sir!!! Now you share an opinion but silent on your states detention facilities conditions! Shame on you! Weak and pathetic!
Does he even wear Nikes?
I will never forget this very man standing before the world saying how he will defend his wife and integrity. I guess it was a fleeting moment
who is ted cruz?
tedcruz is a 'try hard'. Could it be because he was born in Canada and is only a wannabe American?
When the American flag is used by evil people to do evil things, people have the right not to be very keen on the said flag.
Agreed
BOYCOTT NIKE!!! Plenty of other brands.
It's not the flag stupid Teddy boy!
BetsyRoss tedcruz,we appreciate,dat as most others in current GOP,ur ability of rational thought,integrity is cmpltly destroyed by ur family's abuser:realdonaldtRUMP Still TRY&Understand USA is her Citizens,in their Diversity Her Lands,needin Protection Nike Kaepernick7
Ted Cruz = irrelevant
He is embarrassing

Fat Wolverine seems to be deliberately missing the point that Nike is a private company and is not beholden to his faux-patriotic outrage.
Ted Cruz only wants to represent racist people.
Well, I mean. I don’t think it’s respectful to put any version of the flag on a shoe. Besides the fact that technically it isn’t allowed to be worn anyway, not that anybody seems to care. So there’s that.
Shoes made in China slave factories......
I havent heard him complain about the neo nazi trump supporters who use this flag as their own........
Ted Cruz only wants to serve his rich donors. What happened tedcruz? Nike didn’t send a check this month? Start for fixing this country and stop wasting time on sneakers!
These people are so proud of slavery days. I wonder what celebrations they would have if there was no protest.
Only In our great country 🇺🇸🇺🇸 can you hate it and still make millions and billions ... but wait there’s more , we don’t have to like it or tolerate Them that’s the good part ‼️‼️ Nike who Nike next product knee pads ‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸THE END‼️
Ted has even less of a chin with that god awful beard. Plus your shoes don’t need a flag embroidered on the back.
Nike also pulled a shoe that would offend communist Chinese leadership a week ago. It’s a company that’s making lots of bad decisions lately.
All they like is USA dollars, they dont make product here.
I have not purchased Nike shoes in years. They pretty much suck for running in my part of the country.
And Republicans want to dictate to private business what they should or shouldn’t sell. Hey Republicans what ever happen to capitalism? China tell its companies what to make not America!
tedcruz which star on said flag represents Texas...?
