Nike made his debut his first Super Bowl Commercial in 27 years of last month, and while the star of athletes was involved, the ad has received criticism over the attitude of the company on the support of transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu, Juju Watkins, Sha’Carri Richardson, Jordan Chiles and other stars from different sports were in a one -minute ad, which had a different language with the same theme.
The slogans included “you can’t flexible, so flexible”, “you can’t fill the stadium, so fill that stadium,” “” You can’t be emotional, so be emotional “and” You can’t win, so win. “

“That Nike ad has somehow represented old feminism. I don’t think anyone tells women in sports that they can’t win my sport,” Liilii explained.
“Fake feminism,” “pretending to take care of women” and “Nike ignores the real problem”, were lines used by other athletes in the video.
“Real Problem” is the main point of what XX-XY Athletics crossed in her video response to Nike.

“Women can bend, be safe, be emotional, fill in the stadium. And win. But what can’t They do that? Speak. Especially on one topic: the protection of women’s sports, “said the Athletics of XX-XY athletics.
“” Just do it ” – it’s your slogan, isn’t it? Just do it. Just schedule for women. It’s the easiest thing in the world,” said the advocate of sports civil rights Riley Gaines, finishing the video.
When Nike ad came out, Jennifer Sey, a former American gymnast and founder/executive director of XX-XY Athletics, quickly invited Nike at X.
“You are so full. The only thing athletes say they can’t do to advocate for their sport’s integrity because men throw out of the female sport. Literally, that’s the only one,” Sey wrote in response to the advertisement on X.
