The nation's growing diversity and polarization has prompted an outcry over the stain of slavery and a reckoning with some of America's most identifiable historic symbols. The debate over which figures and moments are to be celebrated and which condemned has shifted from emblems of the fallen Confederacy to those that are foundational to the nation's origin. The giants of U.S. history are being taken off their pedestals, both literally and figuratively, to be reexamined, warts and all.
And thus begins the destruction of what was the United States of America.

This whole episode smells rotten - days before the 4th, Nike causes a massive controversy? Look at the wall-to-wall news coverage. Nike has received $$tens of millions in free publicity. This looks like it was well planned and executed to do it exactly what is happening. More Nike sales.
