Patrick Takes Aim at Nike for Making Kaepernick Spokesman for Ads

Lt. Governor launches Just Dont Do It" Radio Spot  Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas (HOUSTON TX) Lt. Governor Dan Patricks regular radio message this week targets Nikes selection of Colin Kaepernick as a national spokesman for their Just Do It" campaign. The radio spot part of the Lt. Governors on-going Conservative Conversations series began airing statewide today. Patrick said this about Nikes decision:

It is shocking that a company the size of Nike doesnt understand that refusing to stand for the national anthem is offensive to the majority of Americans particularly those in uniform who have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice for our security and freedom. People have the right to protest and they have the right to hate our country but they dont have the right to do it when they are on their job. The NFL should have taken a bold stand on this but they fumbled it badly and now Nike is piling on. When it comes to Nike my new slogan is Just Dont Do It."
