Athlete-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick is now part of an award-winning campaign.
The Nike advertisement he was in won an Emmy for Outstanding Commercial at the 2019 Creative Arts Emmy Awards held over the weekend. The commercial, called “Dream Crazy,” features Kaepernick and other sports icons like Lebron James and Serena Williams. They were all part of Nike’s 30th-anniversary commemoration of its “Just Do It” campaign.
Nike released the ad in September 2018, days before the start of the NFL season.
Kaepernick made headlines in 2016 when he began kneeling during the national anthem before San Francisco 49ers games as a protest for injustice. His actions were both praised and condemned by many across the country. He later left the 49ers and became a free agent, but no NFL teams have picked him up yet.

Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny.
That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards.
After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind.
He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex.
He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
