NIKE CAN\u2019T HELP ITSELF, RELEASES A NEW COLIN KAEPERNICK COLLECTION THAT NO ONE WILL BUY<\/strong><\/a>
\nby MATT REIGLE | October 28, 2023<\/p>\nNike unveiled a new capsule from washed-up ex-NFL QB Colin Kaepernick.<\/p>\n
Yes, they did this in late 2023, months \u2014 perhaps even years after Kaepernick brought even an ounce of cache to the table.<\/p>\n
Which begs the question: why the hell does Nike keep doing this? And another question: what the hell is a capsule?<\/p>\n
First, a \u201ccapsule\u201d appears to be what Nike calls something that isn\u2019t quite a \u201ccollection.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for why Nike thinks Kaepernick even needs a capsule, there\u2019s of course a pretty simple answer to that question and it lies in the Swoosh\u2019s notorious no-holds-barred wokeness streak.<\/p>\n
\u201cColin Kaepernick\u2019s optimistic hope for the future is rooted in his belief in our collective power to effect change,\u201d Nike\u2019s website reads.<\/p>\n
He believes in the collective power to effect change by selling shirts with what appear to be doodles from the cover of a middle schooler\u2019s Trapper Keeper on them for $50 a pop?<\/p>\n
Interesting. Activism sure has changed, hasn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
Nike Continues To Work With \u2018NFL Free-Agent\u2019 Kaepernick Despite A Complete Lack Of Bringing Anything To The Table<\/strong><\/p>\nThe funniest part comes in the next line when Nike describes Kaepernick. There are a lot of ways to do that \u2014 hack, grifter, guy who can\u2019t take a hint \u2014 but Nike went with \u201cNFL free-agent quarterback and civil rights activist.\u201d<\/p>\n
Look, at this point, if Colin Kapernick is an NFL free agent, so are you and I.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The good news is that I can now consider myself an NFL free agent as well.<\/p>\n
Rumor has it that the Kap7 Sweat Shirt has a detachable crying towel and the Kappy Jimmy Jumper pants have extra reinforcement sewn into the knees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
