In protest of Colin Kaepernick, I just set fire to a Nike product I already paid for then gave them free publicity by posting about it to social media.

I'd love to know the terms that Nike's marketing department has for these different kinds of consumers. The "Boycott, gone forever", "Boycott, forgets about it and buys new Nikes in a year", "Ideologically opposed to boycott, buys extra Nikes", and so on. It has to be a reasonably well-understood science at this point.
I guess the key is to be like Coke, and have your fingers in so many ideological pies that when people shun one product, they go buy something from one of your other brands.
I guess donating them so people who don't have shoes can use what they don't want themselves? I mean "I won't support them so I won't have them in my life anymore" can be a donate moment rather...

I mean "I won't support them so I won't have them in my life anymore" can be a donate moment rather than a burn it up moment right?

I'll never understand this "burning expensive gear" method as a means of protest. I don't have any personal social media other than instagram, so are people doing it for likes or something? Would these people even bother to throw away their gear if there wasn't a camera pointed at them?

How many people are actually burning their Nike merch? This is a known marketing tactic that I've tried to keep aware of when I see major brands getting caught up in social justice debates. My first thought is that this is really just another "starbucks cup" thing. A very small amount of people do protest something and then a company uses it to their advantage to spark outrage on both sides for the sole purpose of free advertising.
They're making it this big race issue saying whites have this massive problem as a whole and it's bs. This whole thing shouldn't even be a big deal. Be happy for people, move on.

They're making
Who is "They"? The NFL, NFL players, the people cutting up their Nike gear, the media, or some other group?
big race issue saying whites have this massive problem as a whole
Maybe you can specify or expound on this too? What massive problem?

Colin Kaepernick is still living his life. He still has everything he needs / wants. Destroying what you already paid money for doesn't change that or hurt Nike. It's all for show. If you want to hurt Nike, boycott. Don't film yourself burning sneakers to put it on social media. I bet some people bought shoes just to make a show of burning them..
It's all BS. Be happy for the guy and move on - or don't be happy but still move on.
Don't split hairs.... You got the point. It's clear I don't mean that in the utmost literal sense. The take away was, he os very well off no matter what these people do..

Exactly!

He's currently suing the NFL over alleged illegal labor practices. I don't think it's accurate to say he has everything he wants.

Exactly. Very well put.
