But what stuck with me from the ad was Nike's use of the words "sacrificed everything", obviously a reference to Kaepernick. To me, those words in today's context bring to mind our American past and present military heroes and martyrs, and fallen and injured law enforcement officers.
These words do not belong being applied to anything pertaining to a rich, fortune-hunting, egotistical, caveman-coiffed, unpatriotic ex-football pro who hasn't sacrificed ANYTHING and who has now transitioned from highly-paid athlete to the recipient of million$ in income as a flack for a multi-national sports company..... a company which specializes in third-world Asian slave-labor sweat shops to manufacture its goods, including employing child labor, plus setting up shady overseas financial ways to avoid paying American taxes.
I urge a boycott on this shameful Nike corporation....however, conservatives are notoriously lousy at boycotting....and I doubt that no more than a few of the thousands reading this thread will bother to contact the company or their local sporting goods chains with their opinions and intentions.

I am joining this Nike boycott! But must admit I did like Nike’s golf shoes, but there are plenty of options out there.
See # 28 !
