His popularity will only grow from this, same with Kneecaps

i suspect that kapernick would beg to differ how the popularity will pan out.

Sometimes the issue you highlight is worth losing some things.

just like the nike ad.

i'm glad nike gave him the endorsement; he's going to need the money since no football team or league will ever give him a serious chance at a livelihood for the rest of his life.

Isn't his net worth in the millions?

Nike supports apartheid, no one should take their money or buy their products

The Anti-Sweatshop Against Apartheid website created a series called ​“The Cashing in on Apartheid” which highlights brands profiting from the occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The focus here is on Nike, which is accused of financially benefiting from Israel’s colonisation through its renewable energy purchases and manufacturing ties in occupied Palestinian land.

yeah, wo the endorsement, he would have had to work a life like mine; obscure and unknown. lol

Everyone should be able to live a comfortable life regardless of occupation, that should be goal at least imo

Bump the NFL out of the way. Kapernick is the celebration, as Bob Vylan and Roger Waters are the celebration. And corgiwithalaptop.
