The Nike commercial featuring Colin Kaepernick saying “believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything” has been nominated for an Emmy Award.

Kaepernick, a former NFL player who stirred controversy in 2016 by kneeling during pre-match national anthems, teamed up with Nike last year to become the face of a new campaign that harnessed his credentials as a protester, rather than a sportsman.
