Sports Store Owner Who Boycotted Nike Over Kaepernick Support Now Closing Up Shop
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – A sporting goods store owner in Colorado Springs decided to close up shop months after he started boycotting Nike products.
In September, Stephen Martin, owner of Prime Time Sports, took issue with a Nike advertisement featuring Colin Kaepernick.
The former NFL quarterback started kneeling during the National Anthem before football games in 2016, sparking a movement among other NFL players, including Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall.
That in turn sparked large outcry from thousands like Martin.
Fast forward five months, the store is now going out of business.
