I own Nike stock and I don’t pay attention to the stuff but it sounds like it’s a good thing?

It is not on Australia's Amazon. They bought the rights but then didn't sell it or put it on Amazon prime? WTF

really? For sure, ask Amazon...rights are held by them.

Why can't you watch Nike's Big Bet in nearly 200 countries! I want to pay money to watch it. This is crazy. It is streaming and only people in the US and a handful of other countries can watch it. Why do American filmmakers only want Americans to watch their movies?

you have to pay in most countries cheapskate

That documentary was great. Finally another point of view besides the fragile cancel culture crowd. Alberto is a legend and it is a shame an old man has been robbed of so many of his accomplishments because of the woke mob. I hope he gets cleared, returns and crushes all of your souls with victories and world records lololol

If the OP is in Australia and they pay for Amazon Prime (who owns the rights) they for some reason don't have it available. So if the OP is in Australia this comment is objectively wrong.

Contacted Amazon, the lower-level employees, and the business division they referred me to after I insisted they had the license, both don't have knowledge of this. I contacted Paul Kemp to let him know Amazon wasn't making it available. He did verify they owned the rights. His guess is that they might be holding releasing it back until it's officially broadcast elsewhere. So my guess is Amazon will release it eventually. Below is the generic email I got from the higher-ups after my phone call with the two divisions at Amazon.

But I think most care more about Lebron, the NFL, being a Nike sneaker enthusiast collector, etc. than the sport of distance running.

Nobody is watching this crap.

The Executive Director is Canadian. This dude needs to step up his LR podcast game. Dontcha know ey.

Watched it in Peacock. Awesomely awesome. Finally a real take on what happened. Everyone is watching--cuz it hauls ass.

The movie tried to present a balanced story but the problem is they glossed over a lot of facts and totally ignored other facts. If the movie presented all the evidence against Salazar, the movie wouldn’t have been as entertaining. Seems like Nike knew they could get away with a big bet because media would always have their back because of the money. The thing I couldn’t understand is how Gladwell could back a doper, now I think he might believe in burritos.

good film. could have used a rojo rant.
