Nike NKE, -1.12% kicked off another controversy this week when it announced that it’s canceling a new sneaker featuring an early American flag after former NFL star Colin Kaepernick complained the symbolism is offensive.

The noted Anthem-kneeler isn’t the first to have a problem with the so-called Betsy Ross flag, which, according the NAACP, has been appropriated by white supremacist groups in recent years. In 2016, a Michigan school superintendent issued an apology after students waved the flag at a high-school football game.
