The former NFL quarterback reportedly influenced the brand’s decision to cancel the release of its commemorative Fourth of July “Betsy Ross flag” sneakers.

Adidas’ U.K. Twitter account had a serious misstep this week. 

A size 8 pair of the sneakers, which were nixed after criticism from Colin Kaepernick, sold for $2,500.

“We regularly make business decisions to withdraw initiatives, products and services," Nike said in a statement.

Prior to the company’s decision, leaked pairs of the sneaker were selling for as much as $3,000 each on StockX.

NBA star Kevin Durant reportedly sold his oceanfront Malibu home for $12.15 million.

News that Nike pulled a sneaker that was intended to show patriotism ahead of the Fourth of July incensed conservative Twitter Tuesday.

It all starts with the 'skipper,' said New York Mets legend Ron Swoboda.

'The reason why Colin Kaepernick stands against a flag like that is the same reason why I would not wear that flag on my feet -- I wouldn't wear a Confederate flag,' said Jack Brewer.

The NBA’s latest round of contracts provides context for the massive earning potential for players at the height of their profession.

Knicks fans took to social media to voice their complaints after the team’s crosstown rivals, the Brooklyn Nets, signed Durant and fellow free agent star Kyrie Irving to max contracts.

Tennis players at Wimbledon this year are competing for a combined 38 million British pounds, or more than $48 million, the largest prize pool in the history of The Championships.

The league surpassed the $3 billion threshold when guard Jamal Murray agreed to a five-year, $170 million max contract extension with the Denver Nuggets.

Some states offer an attractive perk to players: the ability to keep more of their earnings.

Since few NFL players earn enough money during their careers to retire for good, the development of a financial plan away from the field is a necessity.
