TIM 'RIPPER' OWENS Blasts NIKE As A 'Racist Company' After Shoemaker Pulls 'Betsy Ross' Flag Shoe DesignEarlier today, Owens tweeted: "Hey @nike. How about pulling shoes that no one can afford. I think we need you to us equality for all not just people with money or people who steal shoes!!" After one fan chimed in that "@Nike hates America", Owens, who regularly tweets in support of President Trump's policies, wrote: "You are correct. It's a one sided racist company and it's a shame. Ok to have their shoes made by slaves and then charge $200 for them. There is no equality at all with Nike!" Nike reportedly shipped the America-themed Air Max 1 USA shoes to retailers, then asked they be returned without an explanation. "Nike has chosen not to release the Air Max 1 Quick Strike Fourth of July as it featured the old version of the American flag," a spokeswoman for the company told The Wall Street Journal. Kaepernick reportedly told Nike officials that he and others felt the "Betsy Ross" flag — featuring 13 stars in a circle — featured on the shoes was linked to a period of slavery. The "Betsy Ross" flag design, which was created back in the 1770s to represent the original 13 colonies, has since been associated with white supremacy. Kaepernick, a former quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, became the face of Nike's "Just Do It" campaign in September. Hey @nike. How about pulling shoes that no one can afford. I think we need you to us equality for all not just people with money or people who steal shoes!! ??????????????????????????— Tim 'Ripper' Owens ?? (@TimRipperOwens) July 2, 2019 You are correct. It’s a one sided racist company and it’s a shame. Ok to have their shoes made by slaves and then charge $200 for them.
