This is, of course, speaks volumes to Kaepernick\u2019s protest against racial injustice during football games when he took a knee instead of standing during the National Anthem. Just to be clear, this was NOT a protest against the National Anthem or the U.S. flag, but against racial injustice.<\/p>\n<p>Since he took a knee two years ago, he started a movement of protests as athletes across the nation followed suit. Forever a trailblazer and a man who stands for what he believes in, Kaepernick opted out of his contract with the 49ers and became a free agent after the 2016 season. He has since become an ardent supporter of racial injustice and the treatment of people of color by police authorities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to <strong>Kaepernick<\/strong>, <strong>Odell Beckham Jr.<\/strong>, <strong>Shaquem Griffin<\/strong>, <strong>Lacey Baker<\/strong>, <strong>Serena Williams<\/strong> and <strong>LeBron James<\/strong> are part of Nike\u2019s 30th Anniversary \u201cJust Do It\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Deadline.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former San Francisco quarterback-turned-racial injustice advocate\u00a0Colin Kaepernickis one of the new faces of\u00a0Nike\u2019s iconic \u201cJust Do It\u201d campaign, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
