Nike has revealed photos of The Colin Kaepernick Icon Jersey 2.0, a black monochromatic jersey that features his NFL number, 7, and his last name on the back. The jersey is in celebration of four years since Kaepernick took a knee on the NFL sideline to protest inequality in the country and police brutality against people of color.

KEYWORDS: blm; nike
Money quote:

The jersey will be available exclusively via SNKRS and is priced at $150. Nothing says "Social Justice" than a $150 jersey made by workers in East Asia earning a few dollars a day.

Ah, yes, Nike...the hypocritical company that uses slave labor to manufacture their products and then pays millionaires to lecture innocent individuals who have never had slaves about their fictional racism.

Nothing says “I’m all about Social Justice” like buying a shirt made in a concentration camp, by forced slave labor!

Maybe it “raises awareness” for those prisoners forced to make the shorts?

Maybe paying $150 helps these incarcerated individuals get a “living wage”?

I’ll go to my grave believing this all began when Kaepernick was pouting on the bench and got caught, so he made this nonsense up.

In a perfect world, a washed out QB might get to extend his fame as a sportscaster.

Only in our current bizzaro world could a second string has been get this much attention.

This time next year, they’ll have been shipped to Africa and handed out to refugees by a charity.

They could probably make more $$$ just by selling knee-pads.

I wonder if any NFL teams would have wanted him if, you know, he was a good quarterback?

They have to explain a t shirt? How about explaining the price.
