John Rich Bashes Nike for Colin Kaepernick Advertising Campaign & Predicts Nike Stock to Fall

Big & Rich’s John Rich slammed Nike via Twitter on Sept. 3 for featuring Colin Kaepernick in its “Just Do It” 30th anniversary campaign.

To catch you up to speed, former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick wore a pair of socks to training camp in 2016—when he played for the San Francisco 49ers—that featured pigs dressed as policemen. Kaepernick, who sparked controversy in 2016 by passively protesting during the national anthem before games, has been out of the NFL since 2016.

John Rich continued to display his disdain for Nike and Kaepernick with a series of Tweets—even predicting Nike’s stock to fall. You can check out the Tweets below.
