Get Woke, Go Broke: Nike Makes Cop-Hating Communist Castro-Loving Colin Kaepernick New Face of It’s ‘Just Do It’ Campaign [They Hate Their Customers]

NIKE MAKES MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT COLIN KAEPERNICK. NFL FANS WON’T BE HAPPY

David Hookstead | Reporter

Nike has made former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick the face of its new “Just Do It” campaign.

The ad released Monday features Kaepernick’s face with the slogan, “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.”

I don’t even know where to begin with this. Kaepernick has been in the news cycle for the past two years nonstop. It’s not because of his play on the field, but because he decided to protest police brutality by refusing to stand for the national anthem. As for why Nike would want to reward that kind of toxic behavior, I have absolutely no clue.


The slogan also doesn’t make a lick of sense. Sacrificing everything? What the hell is Nike talking about? The former 49ers quarterback reportedly had offers to play for the Seahawks and the Broncos. He chose to turn them down. What fantasy world are Nike and Kaepernick living in if they think he sacrificed anything? Give me a break. It’s so pathetic that it’s laughable.




Finally, this is just a gigantic middle finger to the NFL and its fans. The season starts in only a few days, and Nike is now promoting the man who is despised by many fans. It makes no sense. I have no idea who made this campaign for Nike, but they should be fired immediately because they clearly don’t have a clue what is going on.
