\nSorbo took to social media to tell fans that he will no longer be buying Nike products due to its choice of Kaepernick as its front man.
\u201cI just returned a pair of Nike shoes to the store, \u201d He wrote on Facebook. \u201cI complained that they hurt my feet when I stand for the National anthem.\u201d
CNS News asked for further comment on the matter, and the Hercules actor replied saying Nike \u201cblew it.\u201d
\u201cI laughed when I saw the hypocrisy in it. Nike blew it,\u201d Sorbo said.
\u201cHorrible move by them to compare the millions he is still being paid by the NFL and the millions Nike [possibly gave] him to whine about his misfortune and how he \u2018sacrificed\u2019 everything to make a stand against police brutality when true heroes gave their lives to protect his right to whine,\u201d Sorbo added. \u201cOnly in America can you fail upwardly in sports.\u201d
The actor also noted that Kaepernick\u2019s career had not been going well even before his invention of anthem protests during the 2016 season, but joked that maybe the NFL needs more \u201cdiversity.\u201d
The God\u2019s Not Dead star, joked that the league needs \u201cmore Koreans, more Jewish players, more Russians, more Norwegians and more people from Guam. Not fair that so many African Americans are ruling the leagues. Just so unfair.\u201d
Sorbo said that he is a believer in hiring the best applicants for a job. \u201cYou hire the best people for whatever job it is,\u201d he said.
The day after the Nike ad featuring the former San Francisco 49er dropped, the sportswear giant lost three percent of its share price and several colleges and organizations have dropped the apparel company. Follow Warner Todd Huston on Twitter @warnerthuston.<\/p>\n
