Colin Kaepernick named face of Nike's new 30th anniversary 'Just Do It' campaign Controversial former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, currently embroiled in legal proceedings against the league over alleged collusion by owners, has been chosen as the new face of Nike. --------------------------------------------------- and then you have : Conservative hilariously mocked after he ruins his own Nike socks to protest Kaepernick On Monday, country musician John Rich tweeted a picture that showed the cut up Nike socks of his sound guy. “Our Soundman just cut the Nike swoosh off his socks. Former marine. Get ready @nike multiply that by the millions,” Rich tweeted. The social media post was seen as a rebuke to the activism of sports athletes like Colin Kaepernick, who’ve used their platforms to speak out against police brutality and other issues that disproportionality impact people of color. The footwear protest appears to be in response to Nike choosing Kaepernick to take part in a campaign commemorating their “Just Do It” slogan. The Internet promptly responded with glee at the prospect of shredding your own socks to protest someone else’s public protest. Kaepernick tweeted Monday afternoon he was picked to helm the esteemed shoe brand's 30th anniversary "Just Do It" campaign -- a return to the slogan that made the company famous. The quarterback, who knows a thing or two about the sentiment, tweeted a photo of himself with the quote, "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything," with the hashtag "JustDoIt.
It is certainly going to be interesting to see what happens to Nilke with this. I've taken great interest in noting that, whenever these companies get involved in political statements, it always blows up in their faces. Yet, they never seem to learn.
So, just so I understand what you are saying here. If someone voted for Trump, they are a fat slob and don't buy/can't afford Nike?
I thought this whole protest was about black lives matter. How many young black men will continue to kill each other for a pair of Nike gym shoes? Not so safe to where them in the hood.
Virtue signaling more important than profits in corporate America these days.Tough to find a backbone in the boardroom.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do what?! Prove he was murdered? You're an idiot. That letter is one man's political narrative about a war in which his country was (is) engaged. He makes some valid points but regardless... the issue we are discussing here is the nature of his brother's death. Nowhere in that letter does he state his brother was "murdered". No one is debating there was an initial coverup. There was, and it was a grave mistake on the Army's part, but a Congressional investigation and the Army's own CID both determined beyond a doubt his death was an accident. You clowns suddenly want to embrace conspiracy theories when it works for you.
