In a true celebration of the continuing spirit of competition while overcoming adversity, Nike is debuting two inspirational commercials (exclusively for Beijing Olympics 2008) which would feature world-class track star Sanya Richards and the USA Softball Team.
This is a special year for USA Softball Team members as the Beijing Olympic Games enters into its final year of Olympic competition. In “We Have Softball,” advertisement Nike is highlighting the US team’s passion and commitment to continuing to play the game regardless of the circumstances.
The television ad debuts in the U.S. on August 12, and features members of the four-time, gold medal winning USA Softball Team.
The Dream Deferred Nike commercial is featuring the song “The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A” which has been performed by Donna Fargo.
The new Nike Olympics advertisement ends with USA Softball players Lauren Lappin, Jessica Mendoza, Laura Berg, Vicky Galindo, Andrea Duran and Stacey Nuveman as they share in laughter with these words “We have softball, you can have everything else” appear on the screen.
