It’s not worth getting hot under the collar about. It’s sweet FA really…. Most of those venting about the colours of a tiny design on the back of a shirt collar aren’t really bothered either way, they’re actually upset about something else in their lives. It’s a scapegoat for the frustration felt about all sorts of stuff, particularly how the country and people have been stuffed, lied to and let down by their leaders in recent years.
And when the public get upset about something trivial, the politicos have to weigh in and make capital out of it. It’s a useful distraction from the big issues. No wonder the right is on it.
Nike’s own goal is the price, which is ridiculous and exploitative, particularly of parents with kids who just want to be patriotic and support the team. Patriotism is only available to the wealthy, apparently. That’s the real issue here.
