Nike -- in a move very much like the Dove commericials -- is featuring women athletes who have, well, more muscular features than the typical model used to sell apparel.
This has sparked a firestorm of emails and conversation. But sex does sell, according to a recent study. It drives men to spend money, and men are still the largest consumers of sports-related products.
But more to the point of the ad is this: it gets everyone talking about -- and thinking about -- Nike.
So, Nike wins.
More on this latter...
Glad to hear that advertising companies are starting to break the sexist chain!
