Surprise! Colin Kaepernick is the new face of Nike

Nike didn’t let Kaepernick’s stand on kneeling at the National Anthem stop them from hiring him to be the face of the company. This is a very nice and welcome surprise. I will be buying more Nike stuff now.

This makes me happy.

Me too. Very very happy. And they announce it on Labor Day. How cool.

As I said in another thread, would have made way more sense to have Larry Fitzgerald. He’s a class act, well liked by everyone, and a great role model for kids.

Kaepernick is a class act, too. Can’t wait to hear Donald go nuts, though. :slight_smile:

Gotta hand it to em… Nike knows their market. Kaepernick… the right choice.
Yep…“Just Do It”.
Who cares if it’s the right thing or not.

Yep, right side of history.

Agree about Larry Fitzgerald. Such a class act.

I think both of these people are excellent role models for kids, or anyone else for that matter.

Fitzgerald is a classy guy.

Kapernick is my personal role model.

It used to be this guy

Who I actually served under. Then it was this guy

Who was my commander. But now that kapernick is the face of Nike … well…

Whoever sells mouth guards for gnashing of teeth during sleep is going to make a killing.

If Kaepernick was white this wouldn’t have happened.

Wish there were a lot more people like him in pro sports. There are quite a few players I do like, but Larry just stands out.

I am just waiting for their boycott, those Nike penny loafers and cowboy boots all going in the trash!
