Colin Kaepernick is the face of Nike's Just Do It 30th Anniversary Campaign

You have to remember that those on active duty aren't necessarily from Cali too. They can be from anywhere in the country. But even those from the state were ignorant too, though and were Sacramento or LA natives.
No see Kap is disrespectin the troops! Trump told me so!
#SAD #MAGA #ROLLTIDE
It's really a brilliant campaign, because unless you're a political nutjob, it works even if you disagree with Kaepernick's stance. It's impossible to deny the man is fighting (and paying a price for it) for what he believes in. And that's worth your respect, which is the message they want to sell.
Well, they actually want to sell shoes, but let's leave cynicism at the door for a moment. Also because this is a brave commercial move. There will be people who will be pissed off at this. But if they enjoy positive or even stable commercial results, they'll be making a point about their audience, and one that is going to be a big L for those who hate on the campaign.

American "patriotism" is so puzzling. Somehow a black man kneeling (fucking KNEELING... in Church people kneel even!), not spitting, not sitting, not turning your back, no, kneeling during the national anthem before a sportsball match was spun into that meaning you hate the flag, the country and even dragged the military into this mess.
Yeah, it's not been the best of times on your side of Atlantic. It does mean that Nike can use this campaign in many other countries without losing impact.
And Nathan Peterman literally threw infinity interceptions in a game last year.

Really fucking sad and infuriating that Fox News and our moronic, racist President have been successful in brainwashing millions and millions of idiots around our country to think that Kaep and others are anti-American, anti-military, anti-flag protesters.
That the actual message is lost on so many is maddening.

Wat. At first I thought it was a joke.... then I saw a picture of his burnt feet. :O
i do love seeing these snowflake conservatives signal-boosting the ad campaign with their outrage
That's an excellent question.
In their Fox News riddled minds, hurriedly cutting the Nike logos off their socks in furious anger over the company siding with a black activist makes them true patriots in Trump's mutated backwater meme frog army.
The salt around this gives me life. Glad Kaep is out there doing his thing and this won't just fizzle out.
In pure effectiveness I'd put them up there, but definitely behind Apple.
*If you disagree with Nike, the appropriate response is to mutilate your clothing (that you already paid for), instead of donating it to homeless veterans that you pretend to care about. Then again, I'm guessing you think the homeless vet would spit on your Nike socks and join you in this great stand.*
Let me get this straight, this dumb-ass gets to express his first amendment right by burning his shoes...while still wearing them. But this dude, a NFL player, is not allowed to kneel to express his right against police brutality against minorities and the powers that be that perpetuate it that do absolutely nothing about it and condone it? People really need to step outside of their fuckin' privilege just for a second just to see how fucking dumb this shit is.
It isn't. Even people here have problems admitting that the police exist mainly to curtail black people.
Yup, totally feeding into the Trump narrative. They watch too much FoxNews.
My Facebook feed is full of people outraged by this. Especially suburban moms mad that they just went school clothes shopping and bought a bunch of Nike stuff for their kids.
Makes me laugh. I will be going to Nike today or tomorrow to buy some new stuff. I need a new rain jacket - i was thinking of going to Kohls or something, but this helped make my decision.
GG Nike.

Yeah, love the marketing idea behind it. Nike's advertising teams are bananas though, always with top content.
Looking through this guy's twitter I'm pretty sure he's just a weird guy that wants to go viral by hurting himself.
Last night on a friends Facebook, whom is a cop, some woman wrote (paraphrasing):
This is just wrong by Nike. Imagine being a cop where you're judged by your uniform and could die for wearing that uniform.

I would have replied with "imagine being black where you are judged by your skin color and could die for having that skin color."
What a great occasion for the stupidest of the stupidest to crawl out of their anonymity to ridicule themselves
