IMO, it is very likely the case that Nike *intentionally* came out with the Betsy Ross flag sneakers in order to present cop-killer-supporting communist Kaepernick the opportunity to do what he did, especially just prior to the 4th of July.
One thing you have to give the global communist movement credit for is their organizational abilities and diehard determination in fighting for their cause. Too bad they're too stupid and ignorant to see the many flaws in their thinking, if you can call what they do thinking.
I dunno... there might have BEEN some rising dissent in the Nike design organization. Clashes like this can reveal a divine plan.
