Betsy Ross was a Quaker and thus almost certainly an abolitionist.

Wonder if these idiots know that.

Nike pulls line of shoes from China after designer supports Hong Kong protesters

Nike has canceled the sale of a new line of shoes in China after its designer posted an image online supporting mass protests in Hong Kong against an extradition bill that would allow people to be sent to the mainland for trial, according to a report.

So free speech for some and not for others Nike?

Apparently Kapernick understands that those 13 colonies were slave colonies, even though you folk just want to ignore that unpleasant bit of knowledge that undermines your "The South had Slavery!" justification for invading them.

Yes Kapernick, they did, and this had no bearing on their right to have independence from England.

I’m divided on the soccer game. Ertz who has been a stuward and the girl from South Jersey who hasn’t got much playtime are good decent and hard working players. If they lose I”’ll deal sorry for them. The Us team is really getting bad publicity leading up to the match.

Just bought new sneakers the other day. Walked past the Nikes and bought a different brand. No Nike anything in my house.

What you say about sales going up is true...BUT...I know part of that — probably a very large part — was a libtard/millennial backlash to people like us saying Screw Nike. It was their show of support. What I’ve always wondered since then is, was that just a temporary blip created by the libtards and are sales since that time lower overall?

I think Nike was relying on their foreign market in the last kerfuffle.

I’ll bet their sales in US have cratered, but they would NEVER admit it.

Now, I think they’ve gone too far.
