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.

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.

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.

Kaepernick acted on his conscience. He took a risk and paid a great price. It was his right, and it was his choice. It seems that so many haters do not reflect on their conscience. They jump on the hate wagon and say taking a knee during the anthem is unpatriotic...they just do not get it. Taking a knee is a powerful demonstration of respect...in church...before the Queen. Taking a knee with a bowed head is deeply respectful. But in this context is is also respecting lives taken illegally, by empowered people with hate and racist feelings...well documented..well documented. He is a hero, and I am glad he has some recognition.

"Over in the land of the free, people are burning shoes because a guy took a knee during the national anthem... It's all a bit ridiculous and sums up modern America pretty well." You can make something sound ridiculous by leaching the political statement out of it. Nobody was angry at a guy taking a knee. People were angry about the statement he was making and the way he was making it. This is like saying about the flag-burning controversy that it was ridiculous when people got all bent out of shape because somebody burned a bit of cloth. If you're autistic, then you can be forgiven for thinking the Kaepernick issue is about "taking a knee." Otherwise, you're being dishonest. I'm kinda guessing it's the latter.

#3 and #26 brilliantly demonstrate the REAL reason Kaepernick is a complete a$$wipe. No, it has nothing to do with the flag. It's because he claims to be taking a stand against opression while endorsing a company known for its slave labor. He can take a hike.
