Caitlin Clark, Nile Kinnick Stand Together

Is Nike Kinnick in the title intentional?

I thought a new Nike deal for CC was being announced when I read thet title.
 
This statement is factually inaccurate:

Nile Kinnick’s Heisman Trophy acceptance speech at the Downtown Athletic Club in New York City on Dec. 6, 1939, touched the hearts of a country embroiled in war.

The Germans invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. The United States was not "embroiled" in war until two years and two days later, when the US formally declared war on the Empire of Japan on December the 8th, nineteen hundred and forty one. Nile captured the sentiment in the United States, which was still very anti-war due to the major losses suffered in WWI. The US did not even begin the Lend Lease program until mid '41.
