The Internet Could Not Stop Talking About Colin Kaepernick's New Nike Commercial

Colin Kaepernick was the star of a new Nike ad for the company's 30th anniversary of it's "Just Do It" campaign.

During Thursday's NFL season opener between the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons, a new Nike ad featuring Colin Kaepernick took the internet by storm.

In the ad, Kaepernick provides narration as various professional and amateur athletes train. Kaepernick speaks about the idea of dreaming big and then going out and accomplishing those dreams, using LeBron James, Shaquem Griffin and Serena Williams as some examples of people who have pushed themselves to achieve goals that many would have perceived as impossible.

The commercial ends with Kaepernick speaking to the camera and saying, "So don't ask if your dreams are crazy. Ask if you're crazy enough."

After the commercial aired during the start of the third quarter, people began to share their opinions on it.

Without the Kaepernick hype, that would have just been another solid Nike ad

That Nike ad itself wasn't so bad

I get why people are upset with Kaepernick being the face of it, I don't even agree with him but the ad was alright

Countdown to people claiming they turned the TV off once the Kaepernick Nike ad aired in 3, 2, 1....

I really don't like Kaepernick, but him and @Nike straight killed that ad

having known when that Kaepernick Nike ad was going to air, that was my biggest letdown about the weather delay. Gotta presume that got a lot fewer eyeballs as a result of the later time of day.

The most interesting part of this game was the @Kaepernick7 @Nike commercial. #NotCrazyEnough
