Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute: On Nike's new ad campaign

Colin Kaepernick, the American football star who led the kneel protests, is to be the face of Nike's "Just Do it" 30th anniversary campaign.

In 2016 he refused to stand for the US national anthem to protest against police violence towards African-Americans, with other players following suit.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute looks at the reaction to Nike's decision, which has reignited the debate over the protests.
