Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’re familiar with the hoopla around Colin Kaepernick and his latest Nike ‘Just Do It’ campaign. I won’t bother going into it here but if you don’t feel free to hit up the Google machine. That said, the memes that this backlash has lead to have been pure gold. Here are some of my favorites.

I ran across this meme of professional wrestler A.J. Styles talking about “marks”. “People use the word “mark” as some sort of disparaging term. It’s not. We, as wrestling fans, are all marks.
