Nike hired Kaepernick to do some adds for them.\u00a0 That must mean an advertising firm did a study that told them customers would respond by purchasing their product.\u00a0 It implies that Kaepernick has some kind of courage and conviction that should be admired.<\/p>\n

People in the US are destroying their Nike clothes to protest the company’s\u00a0new ad campaign starring Colin Kaepernick<\/a>, the former NFL quarterback whose protests during the national anthem before games caught the ire of President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Kaepernick caused a stir when he sat on the bench while the anthem played before an NFL game in August 2016. Asked why he wasn’t standing, he said he was sitting in\u00a0protest over police killings of unarmed black men<\/a>. He went on to consistently kneel during the anthem, and while he went unsigned last season, a handful of other players had continued the practice.<\/p>\n

The new Nike campaign, released Monday night, showed an image of Kaepernick with the words “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess time will tell if consumers have any long-term\u00a0response to this.\u00a0 I was a lifelong football fan, I have not watched a single game or attended one since he took a knee.\u00a0 Supporting a false narrative of victimization while living with a silver spoon up your ass does not gain my favor.\u00a0 Police are not killing unarmed Black Men in mass, the entire notion of it is hysterical hyperbole and has been debunked countless times.<\/p>\n

Its getting to the point that I can’t enjoy my white privilege anymore.<\/p>\n
