‘Believe in something, even it means sacrificing everything.’
Those are the words emblazoned across NFL star Colin Kaepernick’s face in Nike’s new campaign to mark 30 years of its ‘Just Do It’ advertising slogan.
‘Sacrifice’ is a big word, meaning ‘to give up something that is valuable to you in order to help another person’.
‘Everything’ is an even bigger word, meaning ‘all that exists’.
So to sacrifice everything is a major undertaking.
Until today, I believed Kaepernick had indeed sacrificed everything in his professional life to make a stand for what be believes in – which is shining a light on racial injustice in America and police violence against African-Americans.

Yep, America is so oppressive, that he can earn millions for being a spineless jack-wagon. Poor jack-wagon.

I believe in NOT supporting businesses that hate my traditional American values like standing up for the National Anthem...
So I’ll never buy Nike again.

Yes, but Tanya Harding is twice the man as Kaepernick.
He’s such a little pussy.

The flag that he refuses to honor also represents the capitalism of the country that he is now going to partake in.

I can’t believe any multibillion dollar company would do this. They had to know there would be a huge backlash.
I think someone is making a killing in the stock market.

Yeah, Piers is 50/50. He likes Trump and he has his reasonable moments, but he’s a British leftie when all is said and done.
