Consequently, masses are boycotting Nike as well, well it is pretty understanding that no one will support a company with a brand ambassador who disrespects their national anthem.
However, the supporters of Colin Kaepernick says that his intentions were not to disrespect the national anthem but just to oppose the racial discrimination.
