Bill Bowerman, Nike's Founder, RIP

Bill Bowerman, 10th Mountain Division, WWII Combat Veteran

I am going to take a wild guess Bill Bowerman did not have a problem with the Betsy Ross flag. Claims that this flag is racist are ludicrous (Betsy Ross was a Quaker). This slander is deeply insulting to those who fought under the flag and both highly decisive and cynical. What is Nike thinking? It both saddens and infuriates me. The decisions makers at Nike behind this should be ashamed of themselves. It is not just a bad decision, but a profoundly wrong one.  

I am a huge supporter of free speech. People and think or say what they want. While they have that right, that does not make them right.  

Bill Bowerman was a hero, teacher, and innovator. Thank God for men like this when we needed them. May he rest in peace.
