If this ad is to be believed. Sporting heroes can be compared to war heroes that have fought and died for freedom and democracy!

It is funny that you say this because the ad seems to not even imply this at all. It states you should strive for something even if it means costing you everything. That seems a very straightforward point to me. Be willing to give everything for what you want most or believe in most. Last time I checked, war heroes were getting paid for their service so being in the military or armed forces is also a business decision which, when put into context, is certainly not heroic. Not that I am to disrespect anyone in the armed forces, just stating a fact.

I mean, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, and Jesus Christ were not in any military and yet they sacrificed their lives for the things they believed in. The ad suggests you be ready to lose everything, not that you HAVE TO LOSE everything. Colin Kaepernick did not lose everything but he did lose a lot and was willing to lose everything. If you believe in something as much as he does, then you should be prepared to lose everything as well. Otherwise, you are likely to back down when the pressure mounts. This should stand for the left, the right, the center, Muslims, Christians, Jews, musicians, athletes, comedians, or anyone in the world. Be ready for the sacrifice because it can hit hard. I like the message when kept in its context.
