Kudos to Nike for featuring Colin Kapernick in a new ad that will air during the NFL’s opening game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons. The ad features Kaepernick as narrator talking about dreams and goals. We see faces of everyday people as well as professional athletes accomplishing dreams. The ad features footage of LeBron James and Serena Williams. Then….
The most compelling moment is when Colin Kapernick says, “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything,” the voice says before revealing that Kaepernick has been narrating the entire commercial. The ad closes with footage of a young Serena Williams, as Kaepernick talks about how a girl from Compton didn’t just become a tennis player, but the greatest athlete ever.
