A military veteran who sells clothing has come out with his latest product. Nine Line Apparel has introduced its “Just Stand” clothing line, directly countering Nike’s “Just Do It.”

Apparel CEO and co-founder Tyler Merritt, an ex-military helicopter pilot with plentiful combat experience, has long been a critic of former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during pregame renditions of the national anthem to protest police officers killing unarmed black men.
