Was Colin wearing his Fidel Castro t-shirt when he contacted Nike? Or his Che' Guevara one? The guy is a might inconsistent with his symbolism.

i thought he was protesting police brutality, not the flag itself. strange

I am outraged that Colin Kaepernick expressed a personal opinion to some Nike markering flack, and that Nike marketing flack made a decision based on his opinion. This is totalitarian communism, and facism, and socialism, all rolled into one.

its none of those things but its almost as dumb as this post.

they probably never actually produced the shoes. slow time of year with no major sporting events happening (including thw womens world cup), Durant's injury will prob hurt sales a bit and Nike hasnt been in the news for a while - the old CK story has no momentum and nobody seems to care about the sweat shops anymore so they probably came up with this idea in a marketing meeting. my only question is whether CK is in on the joke or if they had to fool him into it with a fake email about Betsy Ross being racist or something like that.

I wonder if CK understands that the Nike swoosh itself is also a symbol of a time of slavery and oppression -his own lifetime.

Swoosh
