The Republican from the Houston area announced on social media that his family is no longer allowing Nike products in their home after the company kicked off a new ad campaign featuring former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick is one of several athletes expected to be featured in the 30th anniversary of the "Just Do It" campaign.
"It is shocking that a company the size of Nike doesn't understand that the overwhelming majority of their customers stand for the national anthem," Patrick wrote. "This is offensive to them and to me. No more Nike at my house."

KENNER, La. - The mayor of a New Orleans suburb banned the city's parks and recreation department from purchasing Nike products, days after the athletic apparel maker released a controversial ad supporting former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
The memo by Kenner Mayor Ben Zahn to the parks and recreation director says Nike products cannot be purchased for use at the city's recreation facilities. It also requires the director to approve all athletic purchases by booster clubs using their facilities. The policy sparked a backlash over the weekend with many calling for it to be rescinded.
Zahn's memo, written last Wednesday, and a statement Monday clarifying his position didn't mention Kaepernick specifically. But in the Monday statement Zahn said while he applauded Nike's message of inclusion, the company was promoting a "political message" to sell shoes.
"In Kenner, like every city, our citizens and our taxpayers cover a wide spectrum of political philosophies and agendas. We must respect all of those agendas and philosophies. So, when a company uses its advertising as its own political megaphone, government should be fair to all of its people and not allow taxpayer dollars to be used to help that company push its own political agenda," the mayor said. He added that people would be allowed to wear Nike apparel on city playgrounds.
