Take a quick look at Roger Federer playing table tennis with a much more confident Wayne Rooney of Manchester United in the Nike Write the Future commercial. You can see in the image that FedEx is really trying hard while Rooney is standing still. Prior to this in the storyline, Rooney realizes that if he is not the top athelete he is supposed to be, he could possibly end up living in a trailer with his beard all grown and he tries hard for a come-back. Fear of success of the French socer player Ribery filling his shoes is Rooney’s both fear and inspiration.
Rooney has Federer running around with a racquet in his hand around a table of ping pong. This is a nice touch. Fast forward to 1:40 of the video clip to see Federer trying hard to take Rooney down.
Ronaldinho, Kobe Bryant, Cristiano Ronaldo and Homer Simpson are some of the other performers in the commercial. Nike has been sponsoring some of the best athletes in the world and it is evident in this commercial.
