The video add I saw was not so bad save for one concept. The printed add like the one on the first page of this thread is a piece of shit.
The "concept" and the "piece of shit" I'm talking about? Calling his moronic and totally unproductive actions a "sacrifice"? He sacrificed nothing, and he's suing to get his job back while accusing the owners who made him crazy rich oppressive. Just a fucking tool, and Nike is a tool for calling his divisive behavior a sacrifice.

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,"
"People of color have been targeted by police. So that's a large part of it and they're government officials. They are put in place by the government. So that's something that this country has to change.

This man and his girlfriend's behavior is NOT productive or constructive in any way shape or form. He's also ill informed and flat out fucking stupid. He's protesting something that doesn't exist. There is no systematic racism being practiced by police throughout this nation, although there are isolated racists (on all sides). A much higher percentage of blacks do commit violent crimes. I blame most of it on the dysfunctional single parent families found in poor AA communities, something our welfare policies have created.
There is no oppression of black people in this country either, people don't even know what oppression is.
No systematic racism
No oppression
No sacrifice
Topped off with a ton of ignorance
Again, this behavior is dividing us, NOT bringing us together. This behavior is putting the lives of police officers in harms way. This behavior is repugnant
