Nike has decided to pull its line of Betsy Ross flag sneakers ahead of Independence Day at the behest of former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, and Americans aren’t having it.
Following Nike’s decision to pull the patriotic shoes after Kaepernick called them “offensive,” users on social media responded the best way they knew how in 2019: with a deluge of dank memes.
“If the Betsy Ross Flag, the flag of the American Revolution, is too offensive for Nike to commemorate The 4th of July maybe Nike should go with this… seems to be more in line with their views,” Donald Trump Jr. tweeted Wednesday, showing a Nike shoe retrofit with the communist hammer and sickle symbol.

Race Baiting Colin Kaepernick said the American Flag is racist so Nike Pulled their Besty Ross American Flag shoes from the shelf
If he hates the American flag & think it’s racist then why does he still live in America?
