One can't... but one *can* make an ambiguous slogan that implies either (or both)!FotbollJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16897475990371077491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165780438929797577.post-44139540187576010512012-08-10T15:56:58.793-07:002012-08-10T15:56:58.793-07:00The video to go along with the "Greatness&quo...The video to go along with the "Greatness" campaign was well received. It included youth that may not have had access (or recognition) to/within the sports community. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hEzW1WRFTg<br />I agree with you that greatness and potential for it was always there. As much as I am elated for all the positive attention towards women's football, the t-shirt and United we Stand piece irritated me- and not just because I am Canadian. :P<br />Women have been playing football and have been dedicated to this sport for decades and decades. Hope Solo's model-esque presence doesn't mean soccer is new. It's just more flashy and can be put up on a Men's mag cover. <br />Excellent post.Shireen Ahmedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16948930996783120199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165780438929797577.post-56947834794961576682012-08-10T14:09:26.672-07:002012-08-10T14:09:26.672-07:00Love this. Greatness has been found? Greatness has...Love this. Greatness has been found? Greatness has always been here, you just weren't paying attention (the USWNT says to the world, dripping with swag).<br /><br />Also, could they have spent any LESS time on that shirt design? If they couldn't reference the Olympics I would have preferred just the "United We Stand" or something. Too bad the Olympic wins aren't commemorated on the kit like the World Cup stars; they could have pulled a Spain 2010 and just worn kits with the additional star.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590023510733708892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165780438929797577.post-15155013861184033892012-08-10T13:16:37.821-07:002012-08-10T13:16:37.821-07:00Greatness has been found reminds me of No child le...Greatness has been found reminds me of No child left behind.
