I don't understand the hypocrisy.
On Kaepernick's part, I feel it hurts his stance to kneel in protest of inequality here, but to accept an advertising campaign from a company like Nike who is known for using poor working conditions in third world countries to create their products. I get he's got bills to pay, but it' still hard to swallow for me.
All companies try to avoid paying taxes in accordance with the law.
I find it hard to believe that you don't have anything to protest or be upset about.
