I'm 100% behind Colin Kaepernick's message and kneeling at NFL games. I'm puzzled why people think he didn't have the right to do that. I also support Black Lives Matter and I've gone with my kid to local protests and marches, including one in my town against police brutality after Stephan Clark was killed.
But the Nike campaign is bullshit. A multi-billion dollar corporation with a Third World factory workforce that are paid less than a dollar an hour wages making an ad campaign against injustice and oppression? Please. Give me a break.
Also, when Kaepernick said he doesn't vote, including in the 2016 presidential election, I decided I can't really support him. I still support his message but I don't support him. Voters hold the power and not voting is throwing that away.
