Nike and its employees donated three times more money to Republicans than Democrats
Many Republicans slammed Nike earlier this month for featuring the National Football League quarterback Colin Kaepernick in its new campaign advertisement. However, it has been revealed that the sports company and even its employees donated over three times more money to Republicans as compared to Democrats this year, according to reports.
Several Twitter users, mostly people on the right, destroyed their Nike merchandise in protest after the sports brand featured Kaepernick in its new 'Just Do It' campaign. Nike said that it decided to include the quarterback in its campaign as the brand believes he is one of the most inspirational athletes of this generation. Kaepernick was the first NFL player to take a knee during the national anthem as a protest against racism and police brutality.
