The following is a letter I am sending to Nike regarding Colin Kaepernick. A telephone # to contact them is 800-344-6453.

If you agree, I request that everyone consider joining me and contact the company.

To whom it may concern:
I recommend that your company immediately cease all association with Colin Kaepernick. I had to really stretch my tolerance to accept his kneeling protests but what he did with the Betsy Ross f**g insignia on your shoes was beyond anything acceptable. As pointed out by many, she was a true patriot and had no commitment to s***ery. Her f**g was a rallying point in our struggles for independence from The British Crown.

A child of privilege, Colin Kaepernick is an ungrateful, rabble rousing, publicity seeker. A has been, his premium quarterback sk**ls were already eroding by the time he began his kneeling protests.

If he finds this country and its principles so offensive, he should go to another less offensive to his sensitivities. Maybe he can market his sk**ls there but I doubt whether he’d find anything nearly as lucrative as an ordinary American job, let alone as a spokesman for a multi-national corporation.

I have purchased and used Nike products in the past but will not buy another while he remains a spokesman.

Thank you.

We hadn't heard of them either but a friend who has severe arthritis and a deformed foot recommended them. She was introduced to them by a person who also shows dogs in conformation, and has to be on his feet on concrete floors for hours each day running around in the dog show ring with a number of clients dogs. He had tried other brands but was getting so bad he was afraid he was going to have to retire from work as a professional dog handler until he tried the Hoka shoes. They worked well for him, and for our friend Diane, and they work great for us showing obedience dogs. Apparently they are highly regarded by people who have to be on their feet, and are getting older.
