The flag, designed by Betsy Ross, has 13 stars in a circle with 13 red and white stripes to represent the original colonies.
“These shoes were important to me,” Reed said. “I’m looking at it from a different lens than Nike is and trying to put a positive spin on it. Why aren’t we taking this flag back and making it ours and making it a positive image? We can change the way people look at this flag.”
Ain't Capitalism Grand!
““Colin Kapernick’s name is everywhere,” Reed told the DCNF. “As much as I respect him and everything, this isn’t really about him. You can take something and see it however you want, and I’m choosing to see this flag in a positive way.”
I have to disagree with Reed here. If there are so many people out there openly treading on the backs of the people that gave everything for these scabs to take advantage to make millions, then why isn’t their face everywhere? A few make a little news here and there. Kapernick’s been in the limelight of putting his shoe into the middle of backs of real heroes since August of 2016, almost 3 years and has done nothing else but this to correct the problem he displays in this disrespectful, unpatriotic, loathsome, repulsive manner. All of which justifies he is a part of the problem and not one inch the answer to it. I have no respect for him or what he claims to represent which he is not doing. He’s gutless as he wouldn’t start to compare to the heroes he kneels on.
