Colin is an American football player and he has made an advertisement with Nike where they want to put a greater focus on the fact that everyone is different, but that should not prevent anyone from doing what they dream of most. It has provided a big headwind for both Nike and Colin. But that does not stop them from continuing to believe in what they are doing. It is not the first time that Nike is making commercials like this one.
Nike has made an advertisement together with Colin Kaepernick, both fans of Colin, but also fans of Nike have really not received this advertisement very well.
You could say that it all started in the year 2016 or so, where he sat down in protest and a little later knelt down during the American national anthem. His protest was to draw attention to the fact that being black in the US. One thing is that you like the United States and you also do something for society, another thing is that you have no respect for a country that still does not respect the black ones. He is not alone in protesting, his with players also started to stop standing up when they had to sing national anthem. But that has created a lot of drama, and NFL formers Jerry Rice has said that he thinks it's a shame not to respect the flag, but he also understands it well. Donald Trump has also been after Colin and said he should just be fired right now if he can not respect the American flag, and that happened too. Colin was without a club and no one who would hire him, and also accused the NFL of supporting that there was no team owner who would sign a contact with him. So, there he stood in the year 2017 without any club. It was subsequently decided that all players should stand up when singing the national anthem.
