In the letter the NAPO states that,
"In featuring Mr. Kaepernick in the 'Just Do It' campaign, Nike grossly insults the men and women who really do make sacrifices for the sake of our nation,"
They feel as if having having Kaepernick represent a message about sacrifice, is a huge insult to the the men and women in the armed forces as well as first responders.
Some consumers that are mad at the ad campaign have resulted to burning or cutting off the logo from articles of clothing while on the flip side many celebrities and consumers have praised Nike for sticking up to their beliefs.
