AZ Reacts To Nike

[Kathianne]

Had just announced that a Nike plant was going into Goodyear. Well by letting Kaepernick stop the Betsy Ross shoe for the 4th, likely not. Bottom line is that there's a lot of commercial growth in AZ from CA, WA, and TX:

Nike's decision to cancel 'Betsy Ross flag' shoe prompts backlash from Arizona governor

Tom Schad (http://www.usatoday.com/staff/10060666/tom-schad/), USA TODAYPublished 8:19 a.m. ET July 2, 2019


Arizona governor Doug Ducey ripped Nike on Tuesday for its decision to cancel the release of a shoe featuring an early design of the U.S. flag, commonly known as the "Betsy Ross flag."

In a series of tweets early Tuesday morning, Ducey called the decision "a shameful retreat." He also said the state will now withhold incentive dollars that it had offered the company to open a manufacturing plant outside Phoenix.


"Words cannot express my disappointment at this terrible decision," Ducey wrote in part of his statement on Twitter. "Instead of celebrating American history the week of our nation’s independence, Nike has apparently decided that Betsy Ross is unworthy, and has bowed to the current onslaught of political correctness and historical revisionism.


"Arizona’s economy is doing just fine without Nike. We don’t need to suck up to companies that consciously denigrate our nation’s history."

Just unbelievable to me that these large companies let a few people dictate to them.

Pulling back because it's a flag. And some idiots claim it's racist. And they too give in to the BS and stop the rollout. And of course Kaepernick involved. :rolleyes:

It's 'slavery!' That is his reasons for Nike cancelling. :rolleyes:

NBA team owners are no longer referred to as owners because somehow owning an organization that had made a lot of black employees rich is racist.

So stupid! Just like NBA owners not calling themselves "owner" of the teams anymore, as THAT is inappropriate. :rolleyes:

Eight years of the obama reign has set up this anti-american garbage being spewed out by the dem leftist trash.
Nothing of this magnitude was so prevalent before the obama came and openly trashed this nation.
Now the dem party actually openly wages war against the foundation of this nation, its Constitution and our freedoms.
Historically such disgraceful actions, when carried on long enough has often brought a division deep enough to birth a civil war.
Do these anti-gun idiots really want a war with those that they claim are gun nuts?
This dem/socialist/liberal lunacy needs to be stopped soon or else the darkness will create its usual curse, methinks..-Tyr

I'm pretty certain the right is catching up.

I totally agree with you about Obama bringing divisiveness. If not for Obama, I truly doubt President Trump would be in office. But Obama was, so President Trump is. What happens after, well I'm guessing it will be beautiful and more in your face, by whichever side gets more votes.

I've often said that on here and elsewhere. Obama created a President Trump.
