In September 2018, Nike announced it had signed former American football quarterback Colin Kaepernick, noted for his  controversial decision to kneel during the playing of the US national anthem, to a long-term advertising campaign.[99] According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports, Kaepernick and Nike agreed to a new contract despite the fact Kaepernick has been with the company since 2011 and said that "interest from other shoe companies" played a part in the new agreement. Robinson said the contract is a "wide endorsement" where Kaepernick will have his own branded line including shoes, shirts, jerseys and more. According to Robinson, Kaepernick signed a "star" contract that puts him level with a "top-end NFL player" worth millions per year plus royalties.[100] In response, some people set fire to their own Nike-branded clothes and shoes or cut the Nike swoosh logo out of their clothes, and the Fraternal Order of Police called the advertisement an "insult";[101][102][103] others, such as LeBron James,[104] Serena Williams,[105] and the National Black Police Association,[103] praised Nike for its campaign. The College of the Ozarks removed Nike from all their athletic uniforms in response.[106]
