TEEN SOCCER STAR DAVIES PART OF NIKE CAMPAIGN

VANCOUVER Canadian teen soccer star Alphonso Davies is among the athletes featured in a new Nike campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick that’s drawing attention worldwide.

A two-minute commercial released online Wednesday includes footage of Davies scoring a goal for the Canadian men’s soccer team as Kaepernick says, “If you’re born a refugee, don’t let it stop you from playing soccer for the national team at age 16.”

The Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder was born in a refugee camp in Ghana after his parents fled the Liberian civil war and the family immigrated to Canada when he was five.
