During a scene, Kaepernick decries that the players are \u201cpoked, prodded, and examined\u201d for defects ahead of an NFL Draft. And in another, the show portrays players standing on an auction block as white people bid on them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"10.187050359712\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Colin Kaepernick compares the NFL combine, which allows all players of all races a voluntary chance to become multi-millionaires, to slavery.

He has a bit of a slavery problem of his own. Kapernick has for years been a multimillion-dollar partner with Nike, one of the world\u2019s biggest sportswear makers. And it just so happens that during the entire time that Nike has capitalized on Kaepernick\u2019s popularity in some circles, the company has been embroiled in accusations that it uses Chinese slave labor to produce its products.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, for instance, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2020\/03\/02\/study-nike-apple-bmw-among-83-brands-using-chinese-muslim-slave-labor\/\" target=\" _blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> published by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) revealed that up to 83 internationally known brands \u2013 including Nike \u2013 have active ties to factories where the Communist Party has shipped Uyghur Muslims to be \u201cre-educated\u201d as slave labor.<\/p>\n<p>In August, Nike CEO John Donahoe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2021\/08\/06\/nike-ceo-we-havent-been-more-vocal-on-chinas-abuses-because-chinas-a-very-important-market\/\" target=\" _blank\" rel=\"noopener\">admitted<\/a> during an interview that his company hasn\u2019t been \u201cmore vocal\u201d about China\u2019s human rights abuses because Nike makes billions of dollars doing business \u2014 both by manufacturing and selling products \u2014 to the Chinese.<\/p>\n<p>Donahoe compounded the situation in June by saying that Nike is \u201ca brand that is of China and for China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Nike chief made his comments during a phone conference with Wall Street analysts about Nike\u2019s fourth-quarter earnings report.<\/p>\n<p>With all these controversies surrounding Nike\u2019s controversial connections to China despite the communist nation\u2019s ties to slave labor, Kaepernick has never once aimed his purported interests in human rights at his billion-dollar partners.<\/p>\n<p><i>Follow Warner Todd Huston on Facebook at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston\">facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even as he likens the National Football League to modern-day slavery, former NFL player Colin Kaepernick continues cashing massive checks from Nike, which was named among a group of brands &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-950918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=950918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=950918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=950918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=950918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
