Mike Rowe Opens Up About The Nike FIASCO – And It Turns Into A PERFECT 9/11 Tribute

Everyone and their MOM has let it be known how they feel about the idiotic “Sacrifice Everything” Kaepernick Nike ad.

Everyone, that is, other than Mike Rowe.

He’s finally giving his two cents about it…

and reminding us exactly why we LOVE this man.

“You’ve been quiet about the Kaepernick”. Sam W. Hi Sam @Nike ‘s free to celebrate whomever they wish but if I was going w/ someone who epitomized bravery & sacrifice I might have gone another way, especially this time of year – Tom Burnett. https://t.co/eWK8Rttm4Z #neverforget pic.twitter.com/t1LUccIslM

“Nike’s free to celebrate whomever they wish, and Kaepernick is entitled to his opinion – kneeling, standing, or lying down.,” Rowe qualified at the beginning of his post. “But if I was going to put someone’s face on a billboard – someone who epitomized bravery and sacrifice – I might have gone another way, especially this time of year. I might have gone with this guy – Tom Burnett.”

Tom Burnett was one of the heroic passengers onboard the infamous Flight 93 some 17 years ago. When he and a few fellow passengers figured out that the hijackers of their plane were on a suicide mission, they decided to do something about it. Their bravery and heroism likely saved countless lives, and will never, ever be forgotten.

Beautiful.

Absolutely perfect.

so many heroes from that day who died for others. Welles Crowther, Rick Rescorla, Stephen Siller…Shame on Nike. 😡

I hope someone at Nike sees this and feels shame… but I doubt they will.
