I disagree with Nike using Kaepernick in their ads.

Nike uses a catch phrase, "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything." Well as a veteran, I know a few men who believed in something and sacrificed everything for our country which our flag represents. I believe Kaepernick and others who kneel during our Anthem to be disrespectful and I find it offensive personally. I also think it is out of line for Nike to mix politics and sports but it's their company and the stock holders will judge management or not.
