Conservatives have launched another bizarre boycott after Colin Kaepernick was made the face of Nike’s 30th anniversary campaign.
Nike announced the blackballed football player would be the face of their 30th anniversary "Just Do It" campaign on Sunday and predictably, team MAGA has lost its collective mind.
These special snowflakes have been crying up and down Twitter about Nike’s decision.
I don't care about Colin Kaepernick and I am aggravated at @Nike for trying to make me care about him.

Shame on @Nike for elevating @Kaepernick7 to be its face; the bum was good for 1 season. Conservatives buy sneakers too. Support @newbalance
@underarmour or @reebok instead. #boycottNike

I thought Nike was about athletics… I purchased Nike for athletic purposes for my family and my children but never again. This was a huge mistake!!!! My family will not represent such filth. #BoycottNike

They are the epitome of big mad.
Some of them have even destroyed merchandise they’ve already purchased.
First the @NFL forces me to choose between my favorite sport and my country. I chose country. Then @Nike forces me to choose between my favorite shoes and my country. Since when did the American Flag and the National Anthem become offensive? pic.twitter.com/4CVQdTHUH4

.@Nike how you going to endorse @Kaepernick7 a person that advertises socks with cops portrayed as pigs, a person that hasn’t played NFL for 2 years, well it’s good I never really spent money on your brand but to the money I did, here they are pic.twitter.com/oHFVgDnR4K

If you burn/destroy clothes and shoes instead of bringing them to a veteran charity, don’t talk patriotism or honoring vets.
You are throwing away something SOMEONE you say you respect needs to be spiteful and look cool on social media.
It proves your outrage a lie.#NikeBoycott— Steve Marmel (@Marmel) September 4, 2018
For a bunch that claims to care about this country’s veterans, they missed a very important opportunity.
If you’re burning your Nikes to “support veterans” instead of GIVING them to homeless veterans whose health care Trump degraded, then maybe it’s time to question what you’re REALLY so upset about.

1 You’re that upset that someone is speaking up for people that are mistreated??
2. You’re not taking that gear to veterans in need??
3. Stop it w/ the fake patriotism!— Kelvin Washington (@Kdubblive) September 4, 2018
Kaepernick has plenty of fans to drown out the haters.
Nike made the BIGGEST Power Move. This is why I proudly wear their products. #ColinKaepernick

People are getting rid of their Nikes? Can we make Colin Kaepernick the new face of the AR-15 too?
— Matt Fernandez (@FattMernandez) September 4, 2018
Let me guess we‘re boycotting Nike because by them supporting Colin Kaepernick they are somehow “disrespecting the flag.” We all know this to be untrue/unfounded but a segment of our population will continue to seek division over unity. I’m putting on my Nike shoes! #NikeBoycott

I want Kaepernick endorsements on everything swampy white people hold dear. Colin Kaepernick for Carhart. Colin Kaepernick for Cummins-Diesel. Colin Kaepernick for Cracker Barrel. Colin Kaepernick flavored Skoal pouches.

Nike, a billion-dollar company, likely won't miss the money.
