The commercial, which is narrated by tennis superstar Serena Williams (who has had to deal with her share of haters) celebrates women’s achievements in the world of sports while pointing out the double standard female athletes face when it comes to showing strong emotion.
“Dream Crazier” is a reference to an earlier Nike campaign entitled “Dream Crazy” featuring controversial former NFL player Colin Kaepernick.
