A group of black pastors has demanded that Nike sever ties with football player-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick over his political views.
The group has also called for the popular sportswear brand to reinstate its Betsy Ross flag shoes, which the company pulled after Kaepernick insisted were inappropriate as they were a throwback to the slave era.
What are the details?
The Coalition of African-American Pastors says that Kaepernick's thoughts — including those on the flag shoe design — are too far on the fringe for a company like Nike.
The group issued a blistering statement condemning Kaepernick's behaviors, adding that the activist represents "radical anti-American sentiment."
