A controversial commercial from Nike that featured former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as the face of its “Just Do It” campaign won a 2019 Creative Arts Emmy Award for outstanding commercial.
The Creative Arts Emmy Awards were held Saturday and preceded the more well-known prime-time Emmy Awards that airs later this month.
Last year’s ad, which stoked outrage among conservatives for Kaepernick’s inclusion, featured the 31-year-old athlete along with others who promote social justice causes. Kaepernick, who was the first athlete to kneel during the National Anthem, says in the video, “Believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything.”
