It perpetuates racial stereotypes and denigrates both women in the process. Dodging bullets is not something unique to poor, urban communities or have we forgotten about the abhorrent gun violence that occurred at Columbine and other white, middle class communities in this country? Had this ad focused on the outstanding achievements of both women without stooping to this contemptible racial profiling, it could have been noteworthy. Gatorade needs to wake up. Both Serenas are accomplished in their fields and that alone is what we should celebrate. The road traveled to get to where they are was a personal journey and should not end up as a tactless commercial ad. I think I'll have a V8!! What a completely disgusting commercial!

And I haven't seen this commercial anywhere on television. I'm curious, did they aired this commercial during the Miami final? I watched the men's final four and it wasn't aired there either.

Since when? I don't know, they sent me an email two days ago calling it a sneak peak. Maybe me being two days late is not giving it a sneak peak status any longer. :P Hehe is it? Since when?
