However, this news was not welcome to all. Specifically, to fans who believe Colin Kaepernick has disrespected law enforcement, the military, the flag, anthem, and just about everything that makes America great.
As a result, some fans took to Twitter and took out their frustrations on their Nike gear:

LOL
Die, NFL. Die.
And now we’ll have CK to thank for getting rid of Nike, too. Not that Nike didn’t do it to themselves.
Kathy Griffin wasn’t available?
Brilliant!
Whomever was responsible for making this decision should start looking for another job. They suck at this one.
Absolutely.
Wow- what a brilliant move by nike- embrace someone who hates this country and hates those that serve to protect him and all of us 24/7 selflessly! Nike should fire the idiot that came up with the idea to feature this unamerican player-
If I had any Nike gear, I wouldn’t wear it. I would, however, use Nike shoes as my gardening shoes and never wear them around decent people.
Wondering if Nike will attach its “swoosh” logonto Kaepernick’s “cops as pigs” socks, too.
Burning your shoes doesn’t do anything. Nike already has your money.
Now, hijacking a truck full of shoes on the way to a retailer, that would hurt them.

"We hate 'Merica, the flag and the pooooo-lice. Vote for us, hear?"
How much does Nike inflate the price of their products to pay for endorsements by someone like Colon Crapernick?
You can be sure that Nikes will be a hot item the next time an urban riot erupts.
Just Burn It!
Famous Last Words (corporate edition).
Buy Nike products? No thanks, I’ll take a knee on that.
I will be watching their stock prices.
I hope they tank!
I have a pair of Asics that I like.
Don’t burn them.
Donate them, if in good condition, to the Salvation Army.
I don’t think the stock price will matter to their institutional investors. I don’t think this is about money.
Well, you asked for it! (I love the smell of burning Nike gear.)
