Breitbart:
The Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP) called on Nike Thursday to end its relationship with former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has a prominent endorsement deal with the athletic company.
Rev. William Owens, president of CAAP, said his organization is responding to Nike’s decision to pull an athletic shoe celebrating the Betsy Ross flag after Kaepernick expressed objections to it.
“It has been clear for a long time that Colin Kaepernick’s views represent hard Left anti-American politics,” said Owens, a civil rights movement activist who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“They don’t represent most Americans, and they don’t reflect the outlook of most African Americans,” he added. “By caving to Mr. Kaepernick’s negative opinions of America, the Founding Fathers, and the woman who designed the first flag, Nike has aligned itself with a radical anti-American viewpoint.”
CAAP has launched a petition urging Nike not only to sever its business relationship with Kaepernick, but also to produce a special run of the Betsy Ross shoe to benefit veterans groups and organizations that assist military families. read more
Colon Capernaum. his name be damned, as it is in the Bible
Although admirable, this will have little effect. Nike will view these black pastors in the same light that they view all Christians, pitiful folks infected with the same malignant views of racism, sexism, and homophobia. For better or worse, Nike has staked their claim with the progressive movement and all the intolerant views that they embrace. They have picked a side, so shall I.
This move by CAAP will benefit President Trump and drive more African Americans from the demorat plantation. And that’s a good thing. MAGA/KAG.
If all these Black Pastors in the association went back to their congregations and told their members (actually the parents of black kids or white for that matter) not to buy their kids any Nike sneakers until Kaerpernick is very publically fired by the company I think he’d be gone before Christmas. The other Black spokesmen/shills wouldn’t protest lest they lose their very, very lucrative contracts.
Nike has Colin Cancer… 😳
Man, I thot Mungo Jerry wuz hair tryin to grow a face ‘tll I saw this!
Smart man, but would Nike LISTEN to black people instead of TELL black people.
Just bought a pair of Skechers for less than half the price of anything Nike & I use them to pump iron. Van’s for Mountain biking. Also Half.
There are plenty of blacks that are on America’s side. The democrat media is quite powerful.
Don’t buy into their b.s.
From the comment section…
“The schmo with the fro
Was a new Nike low
Til they caved to the bro
Said the flags got to go.
And the anger did grow
Every tom, bill, and joe
From the novice to pro
Buy Nike? Hell No!”
