Astounding Religious Hypocrisy

In a gesture of perhaps unintended but nevertheless ridiculous religious hypocrisy, a private Christian college has announced that they will no longer use Nike brand gear in their athletic program in protest of the new Nike ad featuring Colin Kaepernick. They feel that the ad is an insult to the country and our flag. First of all, Mr. Kaepernick never protested the country or the flag. He protested police brutality against people of color in our country. But the most astounding thing is that despite claiming to be a Christian college, they seem to be blind to the fact that Jesus had little regard for countries or earthly power constructs. He preached that his followers were members of the Kingdom of Heaven, which in his view, was the only kingdom of any importance. Would Jesus have rebuked Colin Kaepernick for standing up for the rights of unfairly persecuted people? We can’t know the answer, but I’m pretty sure that Jesus would not have criticized anyone for their disregard of flags, kings, or countries.
