    We should also throw out the constitution and the bill of rights due to their connection to a time when slavery was legal.

    Since Nike provides gear to the NBA I think our GM should change his name to Kneel Olshey to show support for Kaepernick.

    Why do you care whether Nike puts out a shoe with an old flag on it?

    If they'd never thought of the idea, would you also boycott them?

    What if they put out a shoe with a Confederate flag on it? A Mexican flag? A Cuban flag? An aardvark?

    UGH! We'd never hear the end of it from the HCP. I'd consider boycotting S2.......again.

    They can do as they wish I just don't agree with them giving into someone that basically pro Castro anti police.
    Once I hear they side of the story and am convinced one way or the other, as a consumer in the good old USA, I can purchase whatever item I want for whatever reason.

    Now tell me, are you oppose to the American Flag with the 13 stars or the current flag with the 13 stripes?
    Id like your take on this.

    Ok, you didn't really answer any of my questions, but I'll answer yours. I am not opposed to any version of the US flag in general, and I don't care if Nike puts any of them, or any other flag, on any of their shoes. And I don't care if they don't put flags on their shoes, also.

    I guess you could say I'm flagnostic.

    So long as you're not into self-flagellation. That would be downright nasty....especially if Lanny watched.
