You can't keep giving up things just because some jagoffs appropriate them...Maybe it's a good thing people don't want to associate themselves with things being used by hate groups?

The swastika had a certain significance in Hindi/Middle Eastern culture before the Nazis co-opted it.

This is a stupid controversy because I don't think any normal human had any idea that white nationalists used that old ass flag for anything.
I think the ok symbol thing would be equally stupid, had the NZ killer not shown it in that photograph, so I think that's extends beyond just "triggering the libs".

Nobody cares about those shoes or that flag.
This isn’t big sneaker caving to SJW’s. This is an example of a corporation playing it safe by throttling an arbitrary design choice. Because it doesn’t matter. At all.

Some of you seriously need to learn the difference between replying to a discussed topic and being angry about it. Because it aint the same thing.

If you read the article, the main issue people had about this was that the flag was flown during a time when slavery was still allowed. So some people see if as a symbol of a country that was ok with that. I don’t think the part that some fringe group might use it had much to do with it.
That said, I don’t really have a problem with it. However, I’m not someone who has a connection to slavery.

It's to the point it's annoying as crap. You can associate anything to something hateful.Colin Kaepernick jumped the shark a number of years ago. As one of the Twitter comments pointed out, I'm sure there are plenty of white nationalists that love Craft Beer, Chipotle, Marvel movies, etc. Is Colin going to tell us that we can't like those anymore? Social justice stuff going off the rails, again.So are we just supposed to forget America existed before the 1900s or what? Man

Isn’t the Betsy ross flag just for our independence?

I'm certainly not angry or upset about it, it doesn't affect me one bit. But there were parts of our history that were bad, there's no debate. Are we just going to not acknowledge anything that happened in that time frame going forward? Let's take Washington off of our quarters and rename the capital too.. just seems silly to keep moving in that direction

Over the past couple of years, you have low-key devolved into one of the worst posters ITT. Almost like a poor imitation of Columbia at his best.The swastika had a certain significance in Hindi/Middle Eastern culture before the Nazis co-opted it.

This was a passive move by Nike. This is indicative of virtually nothing. Here’s a peek into the war room:I'm certainly not angry or upset about it, it doesn't affect me one bit. But there were parts of our history that were bad, there's no debate. Are we just going to not acknowledge anything that happened in that time frame going forward? Let's take Washington off of our quarters and rename the capital too.. just seems silly to keep moving in that direction
Head of R&D: here’s the new design
Head of Marketing: cool. Looks good. Wait...lemme check something.
RD: what’s up?
M: ah crap. Some loonies are using this as a hate emblem. We should probably change it. Is that an issue?
RD: for us? Nope. We’ll have a new design by the time we meet next week. Is it a problem for the bottom line?
M: nah. We’ll make up the production costs by virtue signaling. We have a reliable brand now.
RD: cool. Now let’s go watch as a bunch of nimrods start jumping to conclusions about how big of a deal this is.

More likely.
H of M. - One of our brand ambassadors that’s made us a **** ton of money doesn’t want us to put out this shoe because he believes it’s racist.

Columbia was an obvious troll who would take things way too far for bad faith reasons. This is a hell of a take that MR is anything like that. You can’t just assign people this designation because a) they have a strong but honest opinion about someone b) they aren’t super articulate with their worldview and c) that worldview clashes with yours.
