A veteran-owned company is facing off against Nike again, this time over a Revolutionary War-era flag.
Nine Line Apparel, a Georgia-based company founded by retired Army Capt. Tyler Merritt, is releasing"Betsy Ross" flag t-shirts after Nike decided to recall shoes featuring the same design.Nike was set to release a USA-themed Air Max 1 this week but, according to The Wall Street Journal, asked stores to return the shoes after complaints from former NFL star and activist Colin Kaepernick.
— NineLineApparel September 5, 2018 Merritt is calling for a full boycott of Nike, according to CNN affiliate WJCL."The American people should support the red, white and blue and boycott Nike and join our #NoToNike campaign. Nike says 'just do it.' We say just stand -- stand for your beliefs and for your country," he said.
Same now right? Is that the same betsyrossflag as today? BidenHarrisInauguration is racist then correct 😡
Does Nike not realize that the 13 stripes on our flag represent the original 13 colonies?
Nike has gone too far. Are we going to ban WWII memorials because Japanese Americans were interned or Jefferson because he had slaves? Remember the past to learn for the future. It was the founding wo/men that laid the basis for today’s freedoms, even to speak out against them.
I will buy the T-shirt just to give the finger to Nike and CK for force feeding us their opinions
I want this shirt!
They folded....
OBAMA’s inauguration speech had 2 of the Betsy Ross flag. OMG so offensive. TDS: Trump derangement syndrome and Liberalism are pathogens. Find a cure!!
Yeah, I'm sure Nike is worried about that clown 😂😂😂
Stupid !
Great 👍
‘Merica!!!
Obama didn’t have a problem with it.
Most of y’all whining about that shoe being pulled weren’t going to purchase it anyway. Just looking for some reason to keep racism going. This country isn’t going backwards - keep moving forward and racism is ASS!
Colin and Nike can STEP OFF.
They are hideous looking anyway.
Let them roll !🇺🇸
Nike SUCKS. walkaway
A veteran-owned white supremacist company
God bless them. What Kap doesn't know is britan had slaves too & the anthem talks about Everyone fighting. I don't want to know how someone doesn't support a song where the country won. They can move!
One wonders about the Flag Code at times like this...
When does this “political correctness” stop? It’s actually counter-effective. It is the history of our country. We need to value history and move forward, and not devalue history and move backwards in our society.
Msm fake news media and companies angry they can't continue to profit from Chinese gulags insist on the hatred of the flag on the 4th. Don't drag my political chump 🐑 BLK people into it with their blind support of race baiters 4 profit.
Okay?
Kudos to the veterans for expressing disagreement, as is their right.. I support Colin and Nike, as is my right. Democracy in action!
That decision is purely capitalistic not patriotic.
God soon come.
if it wasnt a white supremacist symbol before, it certainly will be from now on add it to the white hoods and the red maga hats
Does it come in Confederate Flag too?
haha damn this is so stupid....people “care” about the dumbest things
Buying
What is the point of this story, other than free advertising?
🇱🇷 America first!
Nike’s response:
Here we go AGAIN...
They’ll lose their ass
I prefer Brooks over Nike!
Go for it! Veterans are also handing out USS McCain t-shirts on the Mall tomorrow.
I will NEVER buy or support a 13 colony flag! So take it and shove it!
Must be a white nationalist veteran.
Or as we know it in reality as; Wednesday
FuckNike
Being veterans you’d think they’d know the flag code
Obama's inauguration. Two of these things are not like the others...
It's an interesting discussion, I just talked about the Betsy Ross Flag and nike below Btw I have the GREATEST SPEAKING VOICE on YouTube! Just press play and see!
Sjws have turned America into a laughing stock
When you ad actually makes sense. WTF Nike?
Who cares. It’s a private company making decisions for their product line. Who. Cares. Buy Nike, don’t buy Nike, but don’t make this an us vs them thing. It’s not. Those who are have their own agendas and want us divided.
Lol y’all are really hurt about some sneakers that nobody was gonna buy anyway, if Nike doesn’t wanna sell sneakers THEY mad then they don’t have to 🤡
