Donald Trump asks 'What was Nike thinking?', gets torched on social media
Several Twitter users destroyed their Nike merchandise earlier this week in protest after the sports brand included Colin Kaepernick in its new Just Do It campaign
President Donald Trump came under heavy fire on social media after he voiced a question about the popular sports brand Nike on Friday morning: "What was Nike thinking?" The question appeared to refer to Nike's decision to use ace football quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, in its latest 'Just Do It' advertisement campaign.
Several Twitter users destroyed their Nike merchandise earlier this week in protest, after the sports brand included the quarterback in its new campaign noting him as one of the most inspirational athletes of this generation. Kaepernick was the first National Football League (NFL) player to take a knee during the National Anthem as a protest against racism and police brutality.
