  • Seriously, it's like they're asking permission to play. That their happiness, helth and self-worth are dependent on whether or not males permit women to play or not. Apparently, the decision is still up to the male culture

  • You assume the "you" they are addressing is all male. Couldn't it be women too?  Mothers, teachers, women in positions of power?

  • hey good work well done

  • Wow! Cool Video!

  • Now ask Nike about its glass ceiling and male to female wage gap. "If you let me play," indeed!

  • Yeah!!! Now ask NIKE how many of its mid- to high-level managers are women. Ask Nike about their glass ceiling! Ask Nike about their male to female pay gap. "If you let me play", my ass!!!!

  • I always took it as daughters addressing parents (both male and female)

  • I wish this ad said "LET ME PLAY" sports. I agree that there is still this sense of asking permission. But yes...girls rock. LET THEM PLAY!

  • Indeed it could and often is women who dictate what activities their girls take part in. Forbidding girls to play sports just perpetuates the archaic notion that mental and physical strength are strictly the domain of boys and men.

    Oh and um...GIRLS RULE!

  • this commercial should be played every ten minutes...
