The infamous Nike ad face Colin Kaepernick first gained public attention because of his decision to sit during the US national anthem, while the tradition dictates standing up. Though it soon came clear that his reason for sitting was much deeper than plain disrespect - Colin stated: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football, and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way." Exactly because of this activism, he was chosen as the face for Nike ads. Some accepted it with praise, and some felt that it was a disgrace and ended up protesting and defacing Nike products. This is a perfect depiction of modern America - racism, manufactured outrage, a cult of celebrity, commercialization and petty vindictiveness.
However, these kind of situations are fertile ground for funny memes and Colin's ad is no exception. The "Just Do It" variations are each more hilarious than the last! Scroll through our list of Colin Kaepernick memes and see for yourself.

She has a permanent scowl. It’s so interesting how being a bad person is so often a visible thing.

I think it’s like a strap for punishment or a straight jacket. That’s what I’m going with. Get the strap, indeed. (Blah blah blah.... )The statement concluded: “‘Get The Strap’ is a playful phrase used by Mr. Jackson to punctuate absurd and outrageous situations.”

I don't get why people are burning their s**t over an AD. Yeah, this HUMONGOUS company is totally gonna be DEVASTATED when you just destroy something you already paid for. Why not donate it to someone who has nothing to begin with?
Fashion victims aren't the smartest bunch to begin with, little wonder that they would destroy something they already paid for as a protest. The smarter thing to do would be donate the items, and start buying a rival brand.
Load More Replies...I respect the man in standing for what he believes , but man i hate these m***********g companys who jump on every opportunity to make it an ad ,they deserve all the memes they were giving despite some of them are quit stupid .
Or NOT standing for what he believes in in this case
Load More Replies...I don't understand Americans and their obsession with the flag. Why have so much faith in a piece of fabric even if it is a symbol...a symbol of what. Here's what the Australians think of the flag; they want the Union Jack off it or a much smaller representation of white settlement and the Aboriginal colours on it somewhere, it's flies on flagpole and if it fell down, people would just say "crikey, there's a flag on the ground." It doesn't represent the people or any war that Aussies fought in. And while we wave it to show support for athletes it's more than likely wearing green and gold and painting a kangaroo on our faces at a sports event has more of an impact than the flag.
Basically what I've noticed living in this country for 40 years is that white trash Americans who never do anything for their country but b***h about how much it sucks buy up a bunch of Chinese made American flags, cover everything they own in them, then pretend like they're "better, more patriotic Americans" than everyone else for having so many flags. It's stupid.
