Yahoo Finance Nike congratulates USWNT's fourth Women's World Cup with ad that will give you goosebumps
The USWNT made history on Sunday, winning their fourth Women’s World Cup by defeating the Netherlands 2-0. Nike, which provides the official apparel for the team, released an ad to congratulate the USWNT. It aired right after the match ended, and it will give you serious goosebumps.
This team wins. Everyone wins.
Victory is when we all win. It's only crazy until you do it. #justdoit @USWNT pic.twitter.com/pBU7UE2IEs— Nike (@Nike) July 7, 2019
“I believe that we will be four-time champions and keep winning until we not only become the best female soccer team, but the best soccer team in the world, and that a whole generation of girls and boys will go out and play and say things like ‘I want to be like Megan Rapinoe when I grow up,’ and that they’ll be inspired to talk and win and stand up for themselves, and I believe that we will make our voices heard and TV shows will be talking about us every single day and not just once every four years and that women will conquer more than just the soccer field, like breaking every single glass ceiling and having their faces carved on Mount Rushmore, and that we will keep fighting not just to make history, but to change it forever.”
The ad celebrates the USWNT’s incredible accomplishment on the field, but it also celebrates who they are off the field. It celebrates the young girls and boys who watch them, and who will be inspired by them for years to come. The commercial is intense but very moving, and I dare you not to get goosebumps while watching it.
Nike is probably happy with the USWNT in general, since their jersey is Nike’s best-selling soccer jersey of all time. But that commercial is the perfect way to pay tribute to such a legendary, boundary-breaking team.
