1. I really wish that some NFL team was brave enough...

...to hire this guy and give him a bigger
stage to act upon. Credit to Nike.

2. I like Colin K....but I hate that commercial...

cheesy crap with way too much emphasis on individual achievement and being the "greatest ever"...it seems like they turned what Colin might stand for upside-down, to avoid controversy

3. Weird Interpretation Of The Ad.

Perhaps you go through life doing things half-assed. The best of the best give it all they've got; not for fame or glory or public adoration, but for inter self-satisfaction. They try to answer the questions: can I and should I do this thing, and at what personal cost? That ad carries a very powerful message. It is based on real-life current events which make it all the more important.

6. It would have been nice to have at least one shot of him kneeling at a game

I can see many Americans not even knowing who he is, or why he is narrating this ad. Non sports/NFL fans. There is not even a hint of the circumstances surrounding his stance, or what it was for. So it becomes still a good ad about overcoming hurdles that life throws at you, from an athletic viewpoint at least, no matter who narrates it. But it could have had a lot more power.

4. Nike is global

Most of its customers are not from the United States. Through that lens this commercial rocks.

5. Why is it so hard to understand that by kneeling he...

was really standing up for all of our rights to NOT be murdered by police with
impunity. I will never call the police again...it's too dangerous.

White and scared as hell of the police in denver.........
