Nike Endorsement and Michael Avenatti Extortion Case

Nike made Colin Kaepernick the face of its "Just Do It" 30th-anniversary campaign, sparking both support and boycotts. During this period, attorney Michael Avenatti was arrested for attempting to extort $20 million from Nike regarding an NCAA basketball scandal. Kaepernick's lawyer, Mark Geragos, was named as a co-conspirator in the Avenatti case, creating a complex legal triangle between the athlete's representation and his primary corporate sponsor.
