Colin Kaepernick Nike Ad Nominated for Emmy Award

He hasn't played in the NFL since 2016, but Colin Kaepernick has spent his unfair recession, for lack of a better term, making significant and admirable strides off the field while fighting for equality.

One of the former 49ers' quarterback's most notable achievements was an inspirational commercial he directed and narrated for that debuted back in September as part of Nike's 30th anniversary of the "Just Do It" slogan.

The two-minute ad featured Kaepernick uttering the importance of "Dreaming Crazy," and highlights some of the obstacles that athletes like LeBron James, Alphonso Davies, Serena Williams and Shaquem Griffin have had to overcome to become the powerful figures they are today.

The iconic ad scored a 2019 Emmy nod for outstanding commercial and will go against commercials from Apple's Macbook, iPhone XS, as well as Netflix.
