Cowboys’ DeMarcus Lawrence calls backlash over Nike’s Colin Kaepernick ad ‘childish’

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence retweeted support for Nike’s Colin Kaepernick ad campaign but says he plans to stand for the national anthem this season.

Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback who has been the face of a social injustice campaign by players for the previous two seasons, was tabbed by Nike as the face of its latest marketing campaign called “Dream Crazy.” A commercial narrated by Kaepernick was launched during the NFL’s season opener Thursday night.
