The quarterback was announced as the face of the “Just Do It” campaign of Nike last September. However, the decision turned into a setback due to his previous controversial acts. His 2016 decision of kneeling down during the national anthem at the NFL games is something that cannot be easily forgiven.

However, Colin Kaepernick always justified his action saying what he did is an effort to protest against racial injustice. The theory of sales drop that threatened most staff and employees, however, turned out to be false. The company reported a spike of 31 percent in the sales which were far more than the mere 17 percent that they received last year during that season.
