Of course, he is using this to fan up his base.
But where is the outrage of blacks killing other blacks? Isn't that a much bigger problem?
Boycott NIKE!

I lived in Italy for 2yrs outside of Rome, saw Roma live..I played organized soccer growing up as well as High School...yea, you haven’t made many generalizations on here..lol.
Looks like I was right. Nike made an intentional choice to give the finger to half the country in a desperate bid to lock up the ghetto customer base.
Report: Nike Chose Kaepernick Because Their Customer Base Is ‘Significantly Urban’
According to a new report, Nike fully understood the beehive it would stir by making Colin Kaepernick the face of its “Just Do It” campaign, but decided to do it anyway because the company’s fan base is “significantly urban.”
According to TMZ the move to put national anthem protester Colin Kaepernick on its 30th anniversary “Just Do It” ad campaign was a “shrewd business move,” which was also “part cultural.”
A source inside Nike told TMZ that the company fully understood millions of Americans would be upset with the choice of putting Kaepernick on the ad. However, the company reckoned that since most of its customer base is black, it would be a financial benefit in the long run.
The move to sign Kaepernick to the ad was also a move away from the NFL as a corporate entity and toward individual athletes who are increasingly turning into social justice warriors.
The signal Nike reportedly hopes to send to young, up-and-coming athletes is that Nike is on their side, not the side of the corporations they may eventually work for.
“Our sources say Nike has made a calculated decision to become ‘a partner in social change,'” TMZ reported.
Just ahead of the debut of the Kaepernick ad, a recent poll noted a wide gulf between blacks and whites over the now ubiquitous protests during the national anthem at NFL games.
The recent poll by NBC found that far more blacks approved of the anthem protests than whites: 70 percent of black respondents say protesting is the right thing to do, while 28 percent say no. Meanwhile, 58 percent of whites say the protests are not appropriate, while 38 percent say they are.
With numbers like this, it would be unsurprising that an “urban” customer base could find Colin Kaepernick to be an appealing spokesman.

Nike customers shoe shopping.
This notion that half of the country is supporting Trump is ridiculous. Many voted for him cause they didn't like HRC. his base the most is about %30 of the country which I can safely assume %60 of them are not the type who wear Nike.
There have been other companies that were boycotted by the conservatives and they are doing well like Starbucks, Walmart, Netflix, Kellogg's, Amazon and Keurig to name a few.
Nike marketing execs confront a big problem.
That is also a problem but it’s not the same.
the government is supposed to protect its citizens... cops killing blacks (and the whole situation is a lot more complicated that I’m making it) is exactly the opposite of that. Certain citizens are being harmed and society looks the other way when the officers are acquitted.
Btw - you see all the racists posts by AAA. That’s the real framing of this. It’s not patriotism. It is a racial issue: Freedom of speech when it’s neo-nazis and anti-patriotism when it’s blacks.
The NFL allows players to protest for BLM, it even supports outside businesses who contract with the same protesters promoting BLM
But it said no when the Dallas Cowboys wanted to wear a helmet sticker honoring 5 slain police officers, ambushed by a sniper at a BLM protest.
Actions speak louder than words.
