FF Poll: Pleading the 4th

Q1. Happy 4th of July! Earlier in the week Nike pulled from stores a U.S.A.-themed sneaker featuring a colonial-era American flag (typically referred to as a Betsy Ross flag, with 13 stars in a circle) after NFL quarterback-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick told the company it shouldn’t sell a shoe with a symbol that he and others consider offensive because of its connection to a time of slavery in the US. Your thoughts? (Please choose 3, one from each set.)

Q2. President Trump organized a 4th of July celebration in Washington DC that features a parade with tanks on the National Mall, war plane flyovers and his own televised address. The cost of the celebration is unclear, though a military parade Trump planned for 2018 Veteran's day was cancelled when costs were estimated at more than $90mm. Your thoughts?
