Video: Colin Kaepernick’s Nike #JUSTDOIT Commercial Is Giving Me The Goddamned CHILLS

When a 5 star General of The US Army says kneeling for the anthem means your on the right side of history, you’re doing it right.

I love this commercial, and the reality of sacrifice in life and sport is a metaphor for change, and if any part of you has an issue with amputees, Hijabs or inequality, you are a racist dick.

Nike stock is up today because the visual of morons burning their (already purchased) Nike clothes then posting them on social media completely backfired. That and there’s really no upside to publically denouncing anyone for standing up to prejudice and discrimination.  Burning the clothes belonging to a brand that stands behind a man who sacrificed his career to bring attention to racial and civil injustice is, in essence, a statement that you hate black people.

I’ve seen a million tweets begging these rednecks to send these unwanted shoes to the less fortunate, but you can’t reason with a racist and here’s why:

  1. Burning thousands of dollars of clothes that you have purchased because you don’t like a TV commercial is what stupid people do.
  2. If you think kneeling for an anthem is disrespectful to the country or its military, you are stupid.  Anthems before sporting events are a wartime measure that always garners applause because we are stupid.
  3. If you think racial inequality isn’t a “THING,” or you don’t like what Kaepernick’s struggle stands for, you are a racist and you’re either intentionally or unintentionally stupid.
  4. THEREFORE, racists are stupid, so there is no reasoning with racists.

Give it to NIKE and their enormous Balls for centering a campaign around Kaepernick, struggle, and sacrifice in a time when you are penalized for doing the right thing more than ever.

Man, you should see the look on Roger Goodell’s face!
