Agree with you ToBeasy. Gatorade could have put ANY athlete from ANY sport into this ad. The brand has no shortage of athletes to choose from. They CHOSE to highlight a triathlete and everyone on here should think that’s pretty cool. It could be a no-name age grouper…fine with me. For obviously reasons they chose a pro athlete they sponsor. Sanders fan or not, it’s a nice nod to our sport. I view it as Gatorade saying “hey triathletes, we see you.”
I’ve seen the commercial 4-5 times now. Each time I smile with a “that’s pretty cool” thought in my head.
