The Nike/Kaepernick controversy will affect LeBron James and L.A.!

LeBron James…I have an unofficial ad for you this upcoming NBA season…

Just Do It…NEXT!

It’s been 24 hours and now everyone has probably seen it. If not they’ve definitely heard about it. Nike put out an ad that had so much controversy that it made Charles Barkley’s ad “I am not a role model” seem like… “Please buy my shoe…it’s cool! PULLEEEZE!”

For the fans that might be out of the loop, Nike made former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, the face of the 30th-anniversary celebration of the famous “Just Do it” campaign. It’s a campaign with so much success that it bankrolled so much money into the company like running water.
