Nike has some problems of its own at its HQ in Oregon and seems to be banking (literally) on female Democrats in the state to help them through it.
This year 11 executives have been fired or left due to discrimination and harassment claims of a hostile workplace for women. The company has had droves of talented women leave due to the environment, at a time when their domestic sales are lagging and the female market is the one they need to compete.

I like the add because I admire Kaepernick's leadership in bringing attention to the problem of police brutality towards people of color. Some people will never want to hear that message, which makes it all that more important that it be amplified.
So good for Nike, but mostly good for Kaepernick. He's no longer employed by the NFL so Nike wasn't taking much of a risk there.
