| Nike and Colin Kaepernick team up for a new Just Do It campaign. Conservative outrage begins. |
Colin Kaepernick is the new face of Nike Athletes.
A long time coming for a company that often exploits Black athletes. He is a hero among many in the Black community.
Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. #JustDoIt pic.twitter.com/SRWkMIDdaO— Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) September 3, 2018
He also became vilified by the right wing carnival barkers for his protest against the national anthem. Kaepernick is a modern version of civil rights in the United States.
Kaepernick is protesting against police killings. He is concerned that people of color are being killed rapidly by the police. He would kneel whenever the national anthem is played.
The attacks against Kaepernick came quickly. Cue Tami.
Only thing he has “landed” in awhile. Good to know Nike supports an “oppressed” crybaby who hates America. #smh pic.twitter.com/ALTcTEN4Vj— Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) September 3, 2018
Nike is celebrating this a part of its "Just Do It" campaign.
The NFL season will start Thursday, and Kaepernick remains unsigned. That whole story makes the Kaepernick-Nike alliance a bit more interesting.
Kaepernick recently won the summary judgment phase of his collusion case against the NFL, which indicated arbitrator Stephen Burbank felt there was enough merit in the arguments and evidence produced by Kaepernick’s lawyers to warrant a trial in the case. It was a loss for the NFL, which has claimed there was no collusion to keep Kaepernick out of the league, although dozens of less-qualified quarterbacks have signed with teams since Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem to bring attention to social issues.
Nike is a corporate sponsor with the NFL. They provide the official jerseys for the league that Kaepernick is trying to beat in a collusion case.
White morons are burning their Nike products. They are calling for a boycott of the company for picking Kaepernick as their spokesman.
First the @NFL forces me to choose between my favorite sport and my country. I chose country. Then @Nike forces me to choose between my favorite shoes and my country. Since when did the American Flag and the National Anthem become offensive? pic.twitter.com/4CVQdTHUH4— Sean Clancy (@sclancy79) September 3, 2018
Our Soundman just cut the Nike swoosh off his socks. Former marine. Get ready @Nike multiply that by the millions. pic.twitter.com/h8kj6RXe7j— John Rich (@johnrich) September 3, 2018
Progressives are laughing at the right for this. They are saying, why burn the stuff you just bought!
It's ridiculous.
Even morons like entertainer John Rich tore his Nike socks.
Here's your daily dose of racism from Tucker "Peckerwood" Carlson.
Folks ignore the carnival barkers and get your ass out to vote. Vote against Donald J. Trump and his allies. Let's reclaim our country back.
Do it for Kap.
