Nike Releases Its First Colin Kaepernick Commercial. It’s A Doozy
The Daily Caller ^ | September 5, 2018 | David Hookstead

Posted on 09/05/2018 12:07:02 PM PDT by detective

Nike released its first commercial of Colin Kaepernick’s “Just Do It” campaign Wednesday.

The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback narrates a bunch of highlights in the ad, which will air during the first of the NFL season Thursday night.

He wraps up the commercial by stating, “Don’t ask if your dreams are crazy. Ask if they’re crazy enough.”

Don't ask if your overpriced shoes are made in China and North Korea by slave labor.

Oh, I saw a great idea someone had. When you buy new shoes, send your old, disgusting, beat up Nikes to Nike along with a copy of your receipt for new non-Nike shoes. Maybe they will be overwhelmed with boxes of stinky old Nikes.

Or if this is a cynical ploy by Nike to perform fellatio for prospective black athlete endorsers?

I think it’s a bad calculation for a corporation to get into the political arena regardless of the position they take.

But who knows? Maybe most of their shoe buyers are Kaepernick supporters.

However, I think there’s a trend toward citizens taking increasing pride in America, the flag, etc., and that will bode ill for Nike.

Athletes chase Nike, not the other way around. Because the paychecks go from Nike to those athletes, not the other way around.

So now, why would I watch a program consisting of a large number of specially-privileged members of a government-certified victim group showing their hatred for this country, with commercials by a man who isn’t fit to play on any team, and is only good for making commercials by virtue of the fact that he refused to stand for the anthem?

Nike has chosen to favor an America hater. Reason enough to never buy anything from them.
