A couple of days ago, athletic brand Nike announced that they had signed up controversial football player Colin Kaepernick to a deal to front the 30th anniversary of their “Just Do It” campaign. The news got heavy media attention due to Kaepernick’s current status as a divisive figure and the fact that he is currently involved in a lawsuit against the NFL, claiming collusion to keep him from playing in the league.
This entire situation really had little to do with MMA, at least until UFC interim welterweight champion and noted troll Colby Covington got a hold of the news.
