People all around the country have began destroying any Nike products they own, in the most brutal ways possible. Some people, for example, have resorted to cutting the logo from any Nike clothes they own, and others have even went as far as burning their Nike gear. Some people may ask, why are they doing this? On Monday, September 3, 2018, Nike announced that Colin Kaepernick would be a part of their “Just Do It” campaign for the brands 30th anniversary. Colin Kaepernick has a controversial past, and he is not liked by a lot of people. He is a former NFL quarterback who sparked a national debate about kneeling for the American flag, when he took a knee during the national anthem. Many people took his kneeling as a sign of disrespect towards the country. After Nike made their announcement, people went mad.
While lots of people are not happy about Colin Kaepernick being the face of Nike’s campaign, there are people that are in support. Many people have been wearing and purchasing new Nike gear to show their support.
Are people overreacting to this campaign? Should Nike replace Colin Kaepernick because people are mad that he’s the face of their campaign? Should Nike be concerned about losing sales over this?
