“In their new ad campaign, we believe Nike executives are promoting an attitude of division and disrespect toward America. If Nike is ashamed of America, we are ashamed of them. We also believe that those who know what sacrifice is all about are more likely to be wearing a military uniform than an athletic uniform.”
I turned on my Googles to try to figure out what kind of college would drop Nike due to an ad campaign....
College of the Ozarks
They from the Ozarks, a spot on the Missouri/Arkansas border that's famous for White Supremacy movements. The Ozarks are where the FBI laid siege to a White Supremacist militia called "The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord" and the place where the White Supremacist who shot up those Jewish spots a couple years ago came from. The KKK, Christian Identity movement, and League of the South all have headquarters in the region.

Starting last year, the school began requiring students to take a Patriotic Education Fitness Class, which includes "lessons on American politics, the military, and flag norms...rifle marksmanship, map reading, land navigation, and rope knotting. Students also must be able to run a mile and will engage in other physical education activities."
"We’ve always had some aspect of the military. Usually we try to cover rank structure and how the military is kind of organized," said the college’s director of patriotic activities, Bryan Cizek. "We’re just getting a lot more intentional with the military curriculum."
