Toronto FC captain Michael Bradley, a Puma man, praises Nike and Kaepernick
TORONTO — Nike’s decision to use Colin Kaepernick as the face of a new ad campaign has won a thumbs-up from Michael Bradley.
“Obviously I’m not a Nike guy, but good on Nike,” said the Toronto FC skipper, who is endorsed by Puma and is the grandson of a U.S. marine. “In a moment where so many people, so many companies would have run the other way, to not only stand by him but to show that support, it says a lot.”
Kaepernick tweeted a teaser — a picture of his face with the words “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything” above the trademark Nike swoosh.
The campaign is part of the apparel giant’s 30th anniversary ‘Just Do It’ ad campaign.
