Nike lost more than $3.5 billion in market value after it released a new ad sporting the face of former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, known for his protests during the national anthem.

The news of the ad came on Sept. 3, which caused Nike share prices to fall below $80, shortly after the markets opened on Sept. 4, down from over $82 on Aug. 31, according to MarketWatch.
