Colin Kaepernick Unveils Powerful New Nike Ad

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Colin Kaepernick on Monday unveiled a new Nike ad — and it is powerful.

In the ad, the former NFL quarterback is looking at the camera, and printed over the image is: "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. #JustDoIt."

Kaepernick has been a Nike athlete since 2011, but the Super Bowl QB has not played on a team since 2016.

Kaepernick created a national firestorm when he began kneeling during the National Anthem in an effort to protest African-American inequality in America.

Since then, a number of players on all teams have kneeled or raised a fist during the anthem for the same protest.

Donald Trump has made the kneeling one of his main talking points, going so far as to call any player who kneels a "son of a bitch" and demanding they be fired. Through his campaign, he also blasted networks for announcing they would not air that portion of the pre-game. That is the standard for most unless it is a special circumstance.

1. Ok, but how does that help the Nike brand?

[TomSlick]

2. Because,

folks like me who have never bought a pair of Nike shoes, now will do so.

I will buy the products of companies of which I approve. The opposite is also true.

3. And, the AA community

It will be interesting to see what happens to their stock price and profits.
If they go up you can be sure that will be Fake News.

4. Really? I buy according to the quality and fit of the shoe.

[TomSlick]

5. So, just to be clear,

Lets assume a case where ACME Shoe Co. is a big Trump supporter, denying contraceptives, etc. to employees and BETA Shoe Company supports Democratic candidates and policies. Both make mighty fine shoes.

Does BETA's political and social standards not get some points in deciding which shoes to buy?

As for me, unless the BETA shoes really suck, I'm buying BETA.

8. It doesn't have to be shoes

Nike gets into all things ... socks, tops, shorts. Buy a pair of socks and donate it the homeless. They always needs socks.
