Nike ad celebrating US women’s World Cup win garners millions of views

A Nike ad unveiled after the U.S. Women’s National Team took home its fourth World Cup title has since gone viral, garnering millions of views.

The sportswear giant’s minute-long “Never Stop Winning” ad shows black-and-white images of U.S. women’s players and their fans.

“I believe that we will be four-time champions and keep winning until we not only become the best female soccer team but the best soccer team in the world,” a voice says in the background. “And that a whole generation of girls and boys will go out and play and say things like, ‘I want to be like Megan Rapinoe when I grow up.’”{mosads}

“And I believe that we will make our voices heard and … that women will conquer more than just the soccer field, like breaking every single glass ceiling,” the voice continues. “And that we’ll keep fighting not just to make history, but to change it forever.”

The video ends with the team holding up the World Cup trophy, followed by two sentences pasted across the screen: “This team wins. Everyone wins.”

The video has been retweeted close to 100,000 times on Twitter and has nearly 2 million views on YouTube.

Players on the women’s team have recently made political statements as well as soccer headlines. Co-captain Megan Rapinoe feuded with the President Trump after a viral video showed her saying she was “not going to the f—ing White House” if her team took home the World Cup.

Members of the U.S. women’s team are engaged in a gender discrimination lawsuit against the United States Soccer Federation, alleging the organization unfairly pays male players far more than female players.
