Profoundly Hypocritical: Fox News host Tucker Carlson became the latest critic of Nike’s new ad campaign featuring former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is responsible for launching the ‘kneeling’ protests that continue to plague the league and hit its popularity.
Kaepernick, who is suing the league claiming “collusion” between owners is preventing him from being signed to a new team (he hasn’t played since late in the 2016 season), released the first puke-inducing ad featuring his mug and a blatantly (Left-wing) political statement.

Why didn’t Nike bother to ask Target and Dick’s Sporting Goods, both of which got hammered financially for trying to cater to Leftists?
It’s not just Kap, they also mnanufacter, market, and sell president hating, racist comment maker, and NFL kneeling supported Lebron.
What’s ironic is how Kaepernick’s “resistance” is so easily rewarded and monetized the corporate and Madison Avenue world
Could be Krap’s last paycheck for a long time.
NFL owners have been taking a huge hit on their net worth due to Kaepernick’s shenanigans. Now Kaepernick pads his own pockets with Nike money. The only reason he got a Nike contract is because he has fouled up the game of football beyond recognition. In essence, he is pocketing the money lost by NFL owners.
It would be just desserts if all NFL owners kicked Nike off their sponsors lists. That would really hurt Nike.
How much is Nike paying him for this sacrifice?
It IS all about the Benjamins
Nike is promoting “hate America.”
Beware of any Republican who continues to buy Nike. I don’t care if their overpriced sneakers are American made.
Kaepernick hasn’t “given up” anything, by the way.
Nike did wake up the Cops though:
“The National Association of Police Organizations sent a letter to Nike’s CEO Mark Parker telling them ‘We are calling on all our member officers, their families and friends to join in boycotting all Nike products.”
nike is in bed with the chicoms arent they? slave labor run by the red chinese government.
F#$% Nike and their selling out to foreigners
BOYCOTT
Most people don’t pay attention to boycotts.
Don’t worry! Nike will pay dearly financially for this goofup. Watch their stock in the next couple of weeks.
I disagree. They are taking a huge hit because of the League's pussified response to his shenanigans. They would have had overwhelming fan support for a powerful response and their ratings would have grown.
