Nike has caused a lot of controversy in the USA, by making NFL player Colin Kaepernick the new face of their ‘Just Do It’ campaign. The athlete started the #TakeAKnee movement in 2016 as a protest against police violence towards American people of colour. By kneeling down when the National Anthem is played pre-match. Colin’s actions are also considered to be a protest against Trump, and a lot of NFL-players have followed his example. Ever since the announcement of the collaboration between Colin and Nike, there’s been an outrage full of protesting reactions. Trump followers all seem to burn their Nike products, but the Internet seems to be on fire aswell.
1. Colin announced the collaboration on his Instagram.
2. So people start to protest by burning their Nike products.
First the @NFL forces me to choose between my favorite sport and my country. I chose country. Then @Nike forces me to choose between my favorite shoes and my country. Since when did the American Flag and the National Anthem become offensive? pic.twitter.com/4CVQdTHUH4

3. Or by cutting out Nike logo’s. Just do it.

10. A sarcastic shoutout by Brian.
Shoutout to those offended snowflakes that are protesting Kaepernick’s supposed sense of entitlement by burning their perfectly good $300 shoes that they could have donated to a homeless shelter or to children in need, but went for the clicks. You da real heroes. #BurnYourNikes

11. What to do?!
Curious to see how ‘outraged’ #NikeBoycott Trump supporters would deal with these? @Nike @Kaepernick7 #JustDolt #Nike #BurnYourNikes pic.twitter.com/BHE4qaLzaK

14. Lastly, Jim hopes that there won’t be any Colin condoms anytime soon.
Please Trojan, don’t use Colin Kaepernick in a commercial. The last thing this world needs is conservatives destroying their condoms.
