I want to clarify this was not in the town of Smithfield. North Smithfield residents overwhelmingly opposed this measure in this small town where small minded elected officials with an agenda did not listen and passed it 3 to 2.
The town of Smithfield, Rhode Island introduces a resolution to ban Nike products. It's completely foolish and embarrassing. Full of factual errors and worse.pic.twitter.com/xmjdXzS61z

It was the Mississippi Police Agency (their Public Safety Commission) banned Nike products with the Governor's blessing no vote just one swoop of the pen!https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/nation-now/2018/09/16/nike-colin-kaepernick-ad-mississippi-police-ban/1327000002/ …

The President of the council, who wrote and introduced this, is a retired state police officer

Since the Supreme Court established Honby Lobby’s personhood, isn’t illegal for the government to punish a “person” for speech? Isn’t this exactly what our first amendment protects? If Hobby Lobby is a person, Nike sure-as-shit is.

Ahh yes..Rhode Island. The "Deep North"...lots of skeletons of dead slaves in the closet of that state. Not surprising that a town of 21,000 in Rhode Island hasn't evolved much since the 1700s.
