Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick filmed an inspirational Nike commercial, “Dream Crazy,” that began airing in Week 1 of the 2018 NFL regular season.
Want to know something crazy? According to TMZ, the ad has been nominated for a Commercial Emmy.
It’s an eye-catcher. As Kaepernick narrates, you see 10-year-old wrestler Isaiah Bird who has no legs, a surfer riding a monstrous wave, and a young woman in a wheelchair dribbling basketballs with both hands.
“Don’t settle for homecoming queen or linebacker, do both,” Kaepernick says, as a camera follows a young woman who presumably did just that.
