And I want all the people who are upset with this ad, to just ask yourself this. When you're watching your favorite team or player do you 100% question anything? Or do you only care about is them winning? I don't know but what does that really say about all of you who dislike this Nike ad so much? But hates when you team lose.

@@Headintodreams Well, I think this commercial is terribly insidious and seems like a coming attraction of a world with zero kindness and compassion. However, I am not in the least bit a sports fan. I think sports are incredibly boring, that it's silly how dramatic people get over them, and that professional athletes are incredibly overpaid.
Misinterpreted the message. They are not saying be this person in real life. But while performing, while training it's you vs everyone else. So good. Could have done without the no respect line, however.

love it. as an athlete, i realized that to win, you need to be a little bit of a prick. you have to want the spotlight, the attention, the spoils. otherwise, why compete? you can always practice and be docile elsewhere, but if you want to win, you have to want to be the best and do the best. what i took from this is you can be a good person outside of the competition, but during nothing should stop you. not the other team, no one, that’s why they’re asking if they’re still a good person. because off-court, they’re good people, but on it they’re not. because winning necessitates you to want to beat someone, to grab the gold. And you wouldn’t cheat your way to gold, because to truly want to win, you’ll do it the right way, you won’t indulge in petty things like fouls. your laser-focused on winning; why care about others feelings when your only purpose in a competition is to compete? as an athlete, i understand this “selfish” and “narcissistic” seeming nature because when you want to win, you want it all, all the spotlight, all the amazing moments, all the highlights, all the winning. i can be a good person before and after, but during its all business.
I agree with your comments about the mindset of an elite athlete. I think that some, though, are just as motivated by reaching goals and a feeling of accomplishment vs. craving the spotlight. Especially those who compete in sports that are outside the mainstream.
The human psyche doesn't compartmentalize like that (unless the person is mentally ill). If someone has this bloody minded devotion to winning being the only important thing, that's going to spill over into other parts of that person's life: getting the highest grades in school; owning the biggest house or fanciest car, winning at the casino or the bridge game. Plus, if someone else repeatedly bests you -- at golf or whatever -- you'll find a way in your own head to justify cheating in order to avoid seeing yourself as a loser.
it's everything that is wrong with the world. winning at all cost, as we are destroying each other and the planet we live on ! remind me again, who is it that is winning ?
@@mcl-cp4go Because even in sports and competition, one can have empathy, compassion and respect for their opponents. One doesn't have to be a self-centered narc to be an excellent athlete and win.

That’s why elite athletes are elite, they may respect others hard work but they respect more theirs. Don’t cry about it, is just the real world.
Are they winners though? The olympics is for the humans at the peak of their craft, not some varsity highschool showmatch. Beat someone and you literally take away their life's work. If you were truly compassionate you would just drop out to let someone else win, the mentality of a loser.

@@vincenth.8709that’s a lie from hell. If you have to go so far as to think the way that this ad does then it goes beyond the game. Wickedness is wickedness. A winner is not determined by a trophy or a medal a winner is determined by there heart. I’m sorry but if you have to think this way to “win” you’ve lost.

The 100% perfect statement that represents American culture. No empathy or compassion for anyone or remorse for anything.
Reminds me of a comment on Ayn Rand's objectivism: Do we really need more selfish people? (Paraphrasing, and I don't remember who wrote or said it first.)
Hey! Let's not blame ALL of us for a relatively small number of hyper-competitve maniacs. (And I'm referring to the people who like this ad, not to the athletes shown in it.)
Be the best at what you do, try hard, have discipline... in the end you will be proud of the result. One day you can be a failure, the next day you can be a winner, it all depends on you, take this advice to any area of your life

@@Headintodreams Of course. It may be the ultimate cynic's move, and it sure as hell will not help build a positive brand image. But if all you're going for is any kind of attention, this ad is definitely the way to go.
When you forget that Nike is the goddess of victory and not participation or playing nice. Yes, winners are assholes. No, not everyone can stomach what it takes to be one. No, not everyone can win if they just really want it, try hard and their heart is pure. Enough with this "everyone can be a winner" b-s. And yeah, if you win, someone else loses. When your dreams come true, someone else's get crushed. The Olympics are about winning and this is spot on.
It’s genius because it’s ugly yet honest. Like it or not, most people at the top of their craft, athletes or otherwise, are maniacs. Yet society worships them anyway because their greatness is undeniable.
This finally explains a little bit of the insane mind of us.. THE ATHLETES. But I am kind and intelligent. Not respecting people is a sign of low intelligence.
What have we become? This is NOT the spirit of humanity. This is NOT the way. The narrated words have no place in our world with that hate, greed, and selfishness. To answer the question the narrator poses; yes, you are a bad person.

You know 0 Olympians or people that are top ranked according to NCAA or otherwise. If you drop by new york I'll invite you to a member only club you ... if I ask former and current Olympian and coaches and I am right you owe me 100k usd if you are right ill compensate you double.

@@vincenth.8709that’s a lie from hell. If you have to go so far as to think the way that this ad does then it goes beyond the game. Wickedness is wickedness. A winner is not determined by a trophy or a medal a winner is determined by there heart. I’m sorry but if you have to think this way to “win” you’ve lost. Repent from idolatry! these athletes,if they don’t repent are going to hell. Most of them won’t repent and they’ll drag every person who worshipped them there too.
When the ad is too good that you have to see it again
Perfect! This is the reality for a high-level athlete, no more hypocrisy!
Is it? Are you a high level athlete? Do you know any? Lmao
Literally the dsm-5 criteria for a psychopath
Being a psychopath doesn't make you a bad person just because you are one.
Every time I see or hear this commercial I hate it just a little bit more. "Am I a bad person? Am I a bad person?" I can't stand hearing Green Goblin say this so many times. I think I'll buy a pair of La Sportivas and go hiking in the woods to clear my brain of this.
The 100% perfect statement that represents American culture. No empathy or compassion for anyone or remorse for anything.
And they think that is thinking big.

Hey! Let's not blame ALL of us for a relatively small number of hyper-competitve maniacs. (And I'm referring to the people who like this ad, not to the athletes shown in it.)
This was the only good AD I watched in the Olympics this was AWESOME. AND I CAME HERE AND COMMENTS ARE ON? IS NIKE BACK? Holy
Be the best at what you do, try hard, have discipline... in the end you will be proud of the result. One day you can be a failure, the next day you can be a winner, it all depends on you, take this advice to any area of your life
Yeah, your propaganda has gone unhinged.
Welcome to the real world
Winning isnt for everyone kid stay losing
@@isaiahvaz3933 try not to cut yourself on that EDGE, you muppet.
@@isaiahvaz3933yep some of these losers aren’t ready to be winners even if that means murdering your entire family

The total opposite of the Olympic spirit... I'm shocked by this ad.
Is this SNL ?! The marketing department gotogether and thought right how do we nuke the brand by bludgeoning it with the dictionary of anti-sportsmanship
I love this commercial, I personally got 2 pairs of fly knits right after this commercial. Lovr the feast or famine mindset with unadulterated aggression. Instead of accepting, I'll never make it as a quant fuelled by jealously and hate I quit ... just got my first client today for my start up for sourcing and distributions (and miscellaneous).

What happens if you lose? Can you not lose? Losing gracefully, being prepared to lose is one of the most important skills in life. That is my question. What if you lose?
You can not loose doesnt mean you won't, it means you shouldn't accept it and should always give your best to win
I think it was John McEnroe who said "show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser"
Wow, Nike, are you sure you weren't just repeating your corporate philosophy?
so...I'm mediocre cuz I'm too nice?
Not mediocre, but not made to be an elite athlete

The Beethoven is on point.
Suprised and delighted to hear Symphony #9 Ode to Joy versus the usual hip-hop rap stuff. Loved the imagary HOWEVER, do not agree with the sentiment.
Yep
@@MariaSwanson-h6nAlso this symphony really helps highlight the beauty and passion in what can easily look like madness and war that we love call sports. It really helps set the tone.
Which Beethoven piece is it?
@@snownykatie66 Symphony No.9 In D Minor By L.V Beethoven
Nike has launched some of the greatest ad campaigns of all time. This isn’t it.
You're bad, alright! Super bad. 😅😂😂🎉
well, he is the green goblin
Bad is good.
Ignorance is strength.
Yes. Yes you are.
I'm sorry, but this sounds like an ad for a super villain psychopath. It makes it sound like Nike is for evil people.
Making black professionals look bad... WHY its like JEALOUSY PERIOD.... THIS ISN'T IT GUYS😳
You said it.
@@shewhoiskay1😂😂😂. So nike showcases the best athletes in the world and a majority of them are black and this is somehow a racists commercial? Find another anthill cuz this aint it.
This ad doesn't do it for me
good thing they weren't catering to your wants mr nobody
and yet you’re here lmao
Who cares? Go cry somewhere

It’s a commercial
On the field. On the field it’s different. You can’t be intimidated by your opponent if you wanna play your best. They’re just another mark.
I agree. I am fine with a winning attitude but you can still respect your opponent.
I don't agree with any of this he sounds like a fascist dictator
Man up
IDK, Nike, is being a sociopath the equivalent of being a competitive athlete?
Wanna win? Wanna be THE BEST? the TOP 1? it isn't for everyone. It's only for those who sacrifice themselves, and have 0 compassion and remorse for winning over and over
Yes is does- no more nikes in my house. JUST UNDO IT
Nike is singular and plural, clearly your house is uneducated
@@debutriah2854we’ve got the professor here Ahhahaha
@@Alessandro15f You’re just unintelligent lol
Aside from the fact they are describing a sociopath, yes. Yes, you are a bad person. Nike lays an egg.
Yes. Everything you said makes you a bad person.
It’s kind of amazing to see that so many people trying to answer the question😂
Exactly. So all these people commenting is already helping Nike by viewership.
@@Headintodreams Of course. It may be the ultimate cynic's move, and it sure as hell will not help build a positive brand image. But if all you're going for is any kind of attention, this ad is definitely the way to go.
When you forget that Nike is the goddess of victory and not participation or playing nice. Yes, winners are assholes. No, not everyone can stomach what it takes to be one. No, not everyone can win if they just really want it, try hard and their heart is pure. Enough with this "everyone can be a winner" b-s.
And yeah, if you win, someone else loses. When your dreams come true, someone else's get crushed. The Olympics are about winning and this is spot on.
I normally like Nike commercials. But I find this add’s values the opposite of good sportsmanship and in bad taste
Horrible :: absolutely 💯
It’s genius because it’s ugly yet honest. Like it or not, most people at the top of their craft, athletes or otherwise, are maniacs. Yet society worships them anyway because their greatness is undeniable.
You are wrong. But who cares?
This finally explains a little bit of the insane mind of us.. THE ATHLETES. But I am kind and intelligent. Not respecting people is a sign of low intelligence.
What have we become? This is NOT the spirit of humanity. This is NOT the way. The narrated words have no place in our world with that hate, greed, and selfishness. To answer the question the narrator poses; yes, you are a bad person.
The answer is yes you are
Fascinating decision to lean into this tone and messaging . It seems all former Nike slogans should be wiped from our minds. Including "just do it" and "If you have a body, you are an athlete"
Intriguing 🤔
AMAZING!
You don’t always have to win. You’d go crazy which can lead to dangerous acts thus causing you to become a “bad” person.
Are we really at the point as a society where this is an acceptable pep talk? Ask yourself, who relates to this way of thinking?
Sadists and murderers.
THIS IS THE MOST AWFUL AND SCARIEST CAMPAING IN THE HISTORY OF THE MODERN OLIMPICS
Yes. Yes you are a bad person if you think you are better than everyone else. It didn't say you work harder. It said you are better. No. You are not.
Yes, it does
If you're Willem Defoe? Yes, you are a VERY bad person. :)
The answer is emphatically yes, you ARE a bad person, you’ve met pretty much all of the requirements.

The real answer is that nobody should give a f about a losers opinion.
@SzatanistaDzezowy exactly, you should have thought of that huh?
YES YOU ARE THE BAD PERSON

If the motivation for the competition is those of the narrator, yes, you are a bad person. A psychopath, in fact.
You don't understand the commercial because winning isn't for everyone.
