A Letter to Nike from the National Association of Police Organizations

Belo is a letter sent to Nike by the National Association of Police Organizations regarding Nike's decision to use Colin Kaepernick in their marketing ads.

To truly understand what it means to “believe in something” and “sacrifice everything”, you should look to Arlington National Cemetery, or to the National Law Enforcement Officers’ Memorial in Washington, D.C., or to the trauma unit of a military hospital. The brave men and women of every race and color buried there, memorialized there, healing there, believed in this nation and our flag and exemplify the true meaning of “sacrifice”.

I agree with the letter. This weekend, I was in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. I walked into a shop looking for a University of Minnesota polo shirt. The only ones I found were made by Nike. I refused to buy it. So I am in on the boycott.
