The Spot: Soccer stars imagine the alternate universes they might create with their play—good or bad—in the upcoming World Cup. Will they be winners or losers? Heroes or goats? Adored celebrities or shunned trailer park shut-ins? It can all hang on a single kick of the ball. As the spot closes, the words "Write the Future" appear above the familiar Nike swoosh.

And they can sometimes buy a whole 2 minutes or more air time, much like infomercials that try to sell you crap... sometimes they're on for 5-10 minutes between 2 programs that have a weird schedule

Maybe it's that the OP got deleted?
