overseas speaks volumes for who and what she is capper nick convinced nike to stop distribution of sneakers bearing the betsy ross american flag as you said because it's offensive who is he kidding he also found the national anthem offensive and i bet he has no use for any american flag but i don't blame this pair for showing us who they are i blame nike in the case of caprona for balin to his pressure if the reporting is correct why does he get to decide what's offensive and what's not and as for a piano she did start today semifinal game for a single in which the u.s. won i'd like to believe it was punishment for the way she's handled herself as captain but that would be expecting too much from feckless administrators and coaches who probably agree with her and by the way president trump gave her some good advice after she mouthed off when 1st before talking and so far they haven't won. well i want to mouth off a little bit now because she was asked by a reporter. if she was going and she answered she didn't put herself end of a situation but i wonder why we act as if athletes are suppose

nike because of call in keeper nick complained don't sell them anymore. recall them because those 13 stars is white supremacy? how do you understand that a failed athlete get so much attention for so bizarre. first of all except called and was not good enough to compete in the nfl so he made a career out of the social justice activism. the insane narrative put out that there are things wrong with this country. we are not a mistake as a country. if you want to throw down anything that happened during that era is wrong that was bad not to mention we were a country that went to war and dividedd ourselves no other country can say that. jesse: 600,000 men lost their lives. but i have flaws. that does not define who i am. i have many flaws. but i think what colin is trying to do is continue to divide the country and tear it apart it is white america that does not like the flag and now on july 4th he doesn't want people celebrating the country but obama inaugural. what flag did they have right behind him when he spoke? there it is. it is the betsy ross flag. >>

as far as colin cap nick goes -- ick, he had a privileged life. i cannot believe this guy. goes for nike canceling those sneakers, i will producty another nike in my life. i am extremely proud of the political system because we finally had somebody that came to the gunfight with a gun and he -- his name is donald trump. he did not take the crap from the left. he put the courts back where they should be, not like sotomayor who thinks her decision should be based on her life experiences instead of the constitution of the united states. host: that is matt out of new york. you mentioned colin cabinet, he .s the topic of a recent column colin cap and if, -- colin kaepernick, megan trump, what can they teach us about the state of american patriotism? being american and patriotic means confronting problems that, to her, bring american -- america to shame. an exhibit of military tanks, u.s. navy blue angels and other aircraft and trump's presence. trump believes real patriots should celebrate america's success rather than focusing on her shortcomings or problems because they figure patriotism is

that's what's going on here with nick, a 31-year-old pampered, well think athlete, can pick up the phone and be the arbiter of nike. what -- while this is happening, he's denigrating a symbol that is very important to many african americans. he's denigrating this country. black americans fought in everly war in this country. and they fought bravely because they fought for the promise that was america. america had a problem and that was slavery and discrimination and racism. what held them together and because they defended -- because america was promise, outweighed the problems and it was self-correcting. we had a system to self-correct. so for him to take this, denigrate the flag is very disrespectful to the memory, the sacrifices made by the tuskegee air men, the paratroopers and all the other -- the 92nd combat unit. i think -- he does -- kaepernick does a tremendous disservice to this country. he's plunging us to chaotic differences where we're fighting one another. and meantime, the people whose name he says he toes this is the low income blacks. they suffer the most. as long as we're transfixed on race, we w
