Believe In Something.
Even if it Means Sacrificing Everything.
Kudos To Nike for choosing Colin Kaepernick as the face of it's new ad campaign. Kaepernick has become the symbol and face of peaceful, and respectful protest, supported by many, maligned and used for political gain by others. We were all taught when we were young, to speak up for what we believe in. To do respectfully, but forcefully. Kaepernick did just that, quietly, gracefully, but dignity and strength.
The response, asinine comments from the orange haired idiot in the White House and the loss of his job and livelihood. Even if it was a business decision, even if it was about money and promotion, Nike reaffirmed for me that those who speak will be respected and rewarded.
