So #BoycottNike has been trending after they decided to use Colin Kaepernick in an upcoming ad campaign. And while I believe brands getting involved with social conversations is great for society... we need to address why Nike can not be the brand to lead this charge. Why? Because of the massive amount of ethical concerns I have towards their dealings in Track and Field alone.
