Nike should be ashamed in using Colin Kaepernick in advertising their shoes. Kaepernick is not an example for our country. If he doesn't want to kneel for the national anthem, then he shouldn't be playing for the NFL. It's been a tradition for the NFL to play the national anthem prior to the NFL games. Kneeling while the national anthem is playing is very disrespectful. Our soldiers have played a huge price for the liberty we enjoy in America. Kaepernick needs to think about those who have fought and died for our country in years past. Many black veterans have fought and died four our country. There have been many blacks who have experienced overt discrimination in years past because of their race but they willingly and bravely fought for our country. Using Kaepernick for their spokesman is foolish on the part of Nike.
