The owner of the Colorado store that stopped selling Nike products after the corporation’s controversial Colin Kaepernick advertisement campaign said that the business is now closing.
Stephen Martin, owner of Prime Time Sports, said in September 2018 that in reaction to Nike boosting Kaepernick—a former NFL quarterback who has been slammed over starting the trend of kneeling during the national anthem in protest—he wouldn’t sell Nike gear.
