Colin's a winner!!!
"And, if you’re a girl from Compton, don’t just become a tennis player. Become the greatest athlete ever. Yeah, that’s more like it."
Nike caught some flack for the ad because people took issue with Colin's line,"Believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything." Critics felt Colin didn't really"sacrifice everything" since he still has millions in the bank -- while military members who died in action really did sacrifice everything fighting for the country.
People burned their shoes and boycotted Nike -- but it didn't seem to have an affect on the company ... the stock took a dip in the wake of the ad, but then bounced right back.
