Ya know...

Just because crazy people tell you the Betsy Ross flag is used by some KKK-Nazi types doesn't mean they do.  They trollin you.

And in the end, that is like 30 dudes, tops, so if they did use that flag you can sort of drown out their symbolism with your own.

Also, I don't like being lectured do about how horrible slavery in North America was 150+ years ago (and it was), and how people suffered so (and they did), by a guy that is currently and unironically a Marxist and a Socialist.  That's like Charles Manson lecturing a shoplifter for violating the morays mores of society.  (Yes, shoplifting is bad.  Never shoplift.  That is someone else's property.  Also don't murder 94 millions)

Also, you work for Nike and you are going to lecture other people about slavery?

I like the old 18th Century American flag.  It reminds me of the great experiment that this country is, and how much good we've done for the world just by existing.

    I have a number of historical flags I fly for certain occasions. I was just flying the 69th NY "Fighting Irish" in honor of the battle of Gettysburg.

    I am now flying my Betsy Ross and the first Naval Ensign "Don't Tread On Me" and will continue to do so. I pity the fool that would dare to confront me on it.

    "Morays"? Society's eels shouldn't be violated? (They shouldn't, but that's not the point.)

    Been hearing the theory that Nike did this on purpose. It did get people talking about them more than an expensive commercial would. The people it would anger were already mad at them and weren't buying shoes anyway.

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
