Some of it might be Colin Kaepernick. I never had a big problem with the kneeling. Others followed his lead by exercising a sacred right as American citizens and I will always stand behind that (get it?? *knee slap*).

Where I drew the line was when Nike recalled the sneakers with the Betsy Ross flag because some extremely obscure white power group used it. Literally, almost no one knew about this yet Nike decided to withdraw it. They let the bad guys hijack a lasting symbol of the founding of America because they're cowards. It was then I decided to never spend another dime on Nike gear. I'm not alone. I sincerely hope this is partially a result of their decision.

Btw, Cleatwood, I still use the Nike gear I own, without cutting the swooshes off.
