U-Nike uxele ukuba uzirhoxisile izicwangciso zokukhulula i-sneaker ephethe uyilo lwakwangoko kwiflegi yaseMelika emva kokuba uColin Kaepernick eyazisile inkampani ukuba iflegi yeBetsy Ross inezinto ezinobuhlanga nezonyelisayo. U-Nike wazisa uKaepernick kwisithethi kunyaka ophelileyo, ubukhulu becala ngenxa yokuzinikela kwakhe ekuthetheni ngokukhululekileyo kunye nelungelo lakhe lokubhikisha ukungabikho kokusesikweni. Ke kuyaphola ukuva ukuba ngenene bamphulaphule kule micimbi.
Kwaye, kanye xa uKaepernick waziswa eNike kwindawo yokuqala, yenza uninzi lwabanyangi bodwa. Kubonakala ngathi bayakujonga oku njengenxalenye ye-Kaepernick's (engekhoyo) ye-mission ekudala ikho yokutshabalalisa iflegi yaseMelika nayo yonke into emele yona.
Baninzi abenzi bomthetho beRiphabhlikhi kunye neepundits ezikude ezinomdla ezinomdla omtsha wezambatho zembali ezinomsindo ngokuchasa iflegi yaseMelika-ngaphandle kwento yokuba le ayiyo iflegi yaseMelika.

Ndiyathetha… hayi. Hayi, yiflegi eyahlukileyo leyo, kwaye yileyo ingongoma. Inxalenye endiyithandayo kuyo yonke le nto kukuba kunzima kangakanani uninzi lwamadoda ngequbuliso ukukhwela-okanye-ukufa izitandi zeBetsy Ross.
Kwaye okokugqibela, akufuneki kuthathe impikiswano malunga nesihlangu ukuze abantwana bethu bazi ukuba ngubani uBetsy Ross. Umama osungula. Ibali lakhe kufuneka lifundiswe kuzo zonke izikolo zaseMelika. Okwangoku, kufanelekile ukuhamba naye. 9/9

Ukuba bayenzile kuGoogle, bayakufunda ukuba akukho mntu waziyo ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba uyenzile na iflegi leyo.

Ndagqibela nini omnye wenu ukuthukuthela uNike abafana becinga ngoBetsy Ross? Chitha ixesha elininzi uqhekeza enye ebandayo kunye namakhwenkwe kwaye udubula ikaka malunga nobugcisa be-textile?-Brock Wilbur (@brockwilbur) Nge-2 kaJulayi ngo-2019
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, into ebizwa ngokuba yiBetsy Ross iflegi ifumene ubomi obutsha kwezinye izangqa zabamhlophe. Ngo-2016, iqela labafundi abavela kwisikolo sabamhlophe abaninzi bazisa iflegi kunye neTrump banner kumdlalo webhola ekhatywayo ngelizama ukoyikisa abo bakwesinye isikolo, abafundi babo ngokuyintloko babeyi-POC.
Lowo ngumzekelo nje omnye. Ngelo xesha, uCle J. Jackson, umongameli we-NAACP Greater Grand Rapids Branch, Nditsho le flegi yakuqala yayabelwe into ebizwa ngokuba yi-'Patriot Movement 'kunye namanye amaqela omkhosi aphendula kukwanda okwahlukileyo kweMelika ngokuchasene nokuphakama kobuhlanga.
Eli, kuyacaca, lixesha lokuqala abantu abaninzi besiva ngale nto.
Iflegi yeBetsy Ross ngoku iluphawu lobuzwe obuMhlophe kunye nobukhoboka? Ngaba awudeleli ubukumkani obukude?
Ngokwenene, uNike?
Impambano ye-PC iyakhawuleza ngexesha nje le-2020.
UTrump uzondla ngokuqaqamba kwakho.

Ngenxa yokuba ungazange uve ngento, loo nto ayenzi ukuba inyaniseke kancinci, UJoe. Abaqulunqi baseNike babonakala ngathi bebengazazi iintsingiselo, kodwa emva koko babonisa amandla okumamela kunye nokufunda.
