Nike takes a stance by making ousted NFL player face of its ‘Just Do It’ campaign

Nike Inc. has taken a step that usually no multinational corporation would do: It has taken sides by making former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick one of the faces of the 30th anniversary commemoration of its “Just Do It” slogan. So far, so usual, given that Nike has sponsored NFL player Kaepernick since 2011. However, the player has actually not played in the NFL since the 2016 season.
