POINT LOOKOUT, Mo. — A Missouri college plans to remove its Nike athletic uniforms in response to the company's new ad campaign featuring former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.


quote:

College of the Ozarks says students will no longer wear the brand. In October 2017, the college added a stipulation in its contracts for competitions that players and coaches show respect for the American flag and national anthem.

Nike announced this week that Kaepernick is the face of an advertising campaign marking the 30th anniversary of its "Just Do It" slogan. One of the ads shows Kaepernick's face and says: "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything."

The college president says they believe the new campaign promotes "an attitude of division and disrespect toward America."

I'm always skeptical of these moves as an easy marketing ploy, but it's smart to take advantage of it nonetheless.

Might not be a great idea for future recruiting efforts though.

Looking at their demographics, don't think that'll be a problem.
