My initial reaction to the Betsy Ross flag controversy was to say Nike was wrong in dropping the shoe. Why blame Betsy Ross and everyone else who lived at that time? If there were faults, let those faults rest with those who made them, not with everyone who got off on the same boat, so to speak.
Colin Kaepernick is wrong on this one.
Well, after expressing that sentiment, I studied a little. And, I learned white supremacists have taken up the Betsy Ross flag as a symbol. Nike should have (and perhaps did) traced back to who it was who suggested they should make the shoe. And, if it was someone who might stand with racism, they were right to drop the shoe.
