Fmr. Pro Basketball Player: Nike Aims for Controversy But They Swung and Missed with Kaepernick Commercial

EXCERPT:

GILLESPIE: "Well, Nike aims for controversy. That’s what you have to understand. However, I think they have swung and missed on this one because I think they — they have gone about this the same way I think the folks running the Hillary Clinton campaign did, is they have just misassessed Middle America and, you know, this is again the elites trying to make up for something that — you know, frankly, Nike has had some lawsuits in recent history as far as discrimination. I think they are just, you know, they are trying to swing it back in their favor. But this, like I said, this is not the way to go about it. Frankly, if they want to make an ad about sacrificing, why don’t they go all the way? If this is Nike, put Jesus on there. That’s my opinion."
