So why are people burning their Nike shoes?

Plus, I saw the new Nike commercial, I don't see why it's so controversial.

Nike featured someone who pointedly would not support the national anthem and flag as a protest, then Trump blew it up and painted him as unpatriotic.

Nike is taking a gamble trying to appeal to the African American consumer who also feel marginalized by the country (and who spend a lot of money on sports shoes) at the risk of alienating hardcore conservatives

@plungesponge Wow, people have too much time on their hands. Those shoes are expensive to waste.
