Nike shares are falling Tuesday morning after the company revealed a new ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick.
The news of Kaepernick, who in 2016 decided not to stand for the national anthem to protest racial injustice, becoming the face of Nike marketing sparked some backlash from consumers on social media.
#NikeBoycott was trending on Twitter, with some people saying they were going to burn their Nike sneakers.

I couldn’t get enough, so I had to self-destruct

Tess Holliday isn’t tolerating Piers Morgan’s comments about her Cosmopolitan UK cover after the British TV personality slammed her presence on the magazine’s October issue.
