Chilling words spoken by tween girls in a Nike tv commercial, 1995:
If you let me play, if you let me play sports
I will like myself more
I will have more self-confidence
If you let me play sports
If you let me play
I will be 60% less likely to get breast cancer
I will suffer less depression
If you let me play sports
I will be more likely to leave a man who beats me
If you let me play
I will be less likely to get pregnant before I want to
I will learn what it means to be strong
If you let me play, if you let me play sports
A heartful representation of the Nike ad text (by Jason W):
