The new NIKE 2 minute 5 sec commerical just dropped and was beyond my expectations. The homecoming queen who was also a linebacker on tge boys high school football team, the kid with no legs wrestling, Serena, Elliud Kipchoge, Kaeoernick and many others dared to not only dream, they dreamed what many called crazy and achhieved by it. Motivational and inspirational.
If not the best ever its certainly makes my alltime top 3.
Wtg Nike. You "Just did it".
I don't know about it being the best ever, it however is very good and inspirational.
Congratulations, now they can sell more shoes
Am I the only one that finds it odd that a wrestler with no legs is sponsored by a shoe company?

Beautiful. One for the ages.
I hear Nike is out with a new line of "Pigs" socks, Castro shirts, and red berets, all with a giant corporate swoosh were the communist star would usually go. Congrats!
Not funny. Nike sell alot of other gear besides shoes.
For every athlete or person in the commerical they did their homework and the dialogue fit the person. Serena (distant cousin of my family) girl out of Compton, dont just dream of being a tennus player, dream of being the best athlete ever. Eliud- dont just dream of being the fastest in your city or the world, dream of being the fastest ever.
Very nice the whole commerical.
I was disappointed with the commercial in honesty. Sure, it was powerful and moving like plenty of other Nike commercials, but it didn't address what the whole Kaepernick protest was about in the first place. C'mon Nike, take a shot at the police, or take a shot at the NFL, do something inflammatory. I mean who's really going to get upset at this? I want chaos, Nike gave us a heartwarming commercial
It's enough that they took a stand with Kaepernick's kneeling and received backlash and losing revenue, there is no need for Nike to take over the fight.
I don't know about best ever but it beautifully depicts where the country is steadily going as opposed to the fearful divisive types who want the white America that rejects Colin Kaepernick types and never allows them to speak again.
Perfect fit for the 15-17 year olds that this campaign is aimed ad. Very obvious that all the clips and words were chosen with that age group in mind. Anyone who evaluates the commercial without understanding that aspect is seeing the significance flying over their head
And somehow I don't think those 15-17 year olds will confuse 46% with success
Just ordered 7 pegasus 35s. Gonna rup the logos off then use em for my runs for the next 4 years.

These are the lowest of the low worms. Why someone would watch a commercial (and then be inspired??) with these useless life forms I'll never know.
Trumpette spotted!
Lebron loves war criminal Hillary, and Kaep reps Castro. Fantastic.
I wonder what Cuban's think???

Florida is leading the nation in boycott Nike tweets if that helps. Lebron's graffiti claim was never independently verified (there is no evidence of it ever taking place). Lebron, Serena and Kaepernick all came from modest beginnings and are now millionaires. It is hard to believe that their life experience has left them believing that there is systematic racism is America, as they examples of the opposite.
Okay he made an error in wearing a t-shirr that had Malcolm X and Fidel on it. That does not take away from Nike beautiful and inspirational commerical.

Why so disingenuous? Kaep is an 'intelligent idiot'. He can speak well, and I do believe that he means well, but he is lacking in factual information and historical knowledge/understanding.
This quote is striking, and somewhat common. I have a 'socialist' friend that has said literally the exact same thing as a rationalization for socialism. It's quite bizarre.
And that’s exactly the moment Kaepernick shows how lost he truly is. Because in the next breath, Kaepernick, born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, explains to me, the guy born in Havana, how great Castro really is.
“One thing Fidel Castro did do is they have the highest literacy rate because they invest more in their education system than they do in their prison system, which we do not do here even though we’re fully capable of doing that,” Kaepernick said.
Is this real life?
First, Cuba does not have the highest literacy rate. Second, don’t be surprised if the same people who report Cuba’s admittedly high literacy rate are related to those who report its election results — the ones in which the Castros get 100 percent of the votes.
Third, could it be Cuba doesn’t have to invest a lot in its prison system because, you know, dungeons and firing squads (El Paredon) are not too expensive to maintain?
Finally, it’s bizarre that Kaepernick is extolling the education system of a country where people believe launching out into shark-infested seas to flee is a better idea than staying there.
So I make the point to Kaepernick that aside from that awesome school system the Castro devils established, there was also that communist revolution we should consider, and the lack of free elections and justice. And after teaching folks the alphabet, to Kaepernick’s apparent delight, the Castros break up families, including mine, because some folks get out and others cannot.

The commercial is good, and the slogan is good as well. But, Nike broadly categorized many police officers and offended many Cubans who escaped an oppressive regime. I really do not believe they meant to do that, and therefore is a mistake by a very large corporation.

The commercial is good, even though Kaepernick is a frucking clown. Nike epitomizes the evil, uncaring organization, that really only cares about making money. That will continue no matter what they do since there is a growing number of sheep that will eat that "everyone's a victim" sh!t up.
