“Miss America” commercial

tucsongal — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 16:29:46 GMT

I love the commercial that has Bert Parks singing “There she is...Miss America...” while showing a variety of women athletes in their glory exhibiting strength, grace, endurance in sports from martial arts to gymnastics. It’s for D.ck’s Sporting Goods. It reminds me of the “Run like a girl” ad, which I also loved.

I'm also a big fan of the commercial. It shows diversity and inclusion and the fact that girls kick *** in sports.

I too thought that commercial fabulous. And, indeed, every athlete they showed is truly a Miss America. Every time I see it, I cry. I am so moved by it. Thank you, ******'s Sports!

In 1990 something, my friends daughter loved playing soccer as a child. When she was in high school a few year later, she was spotted by a,scout during one of the games. Long story short, she was recruited and got a scholarship or what it was called to Annapolis. She became an officer, and numerous other titles. Last year, she as an Astronaut, was in line to be the first woman doing something in space. I had lost touch with her mom, so I didn,t know this until I saw her on the local AND NEWS

Point is, girls can go a long way in sports.

It's rare when a commercial makes me emotional . This one makes me cry for what was, is and will be.

I love that one and the commercial about the para Olympics swimmer's mother getting the call about the adoption stating her baby had to have bilateral amputations.....very moving & inspirational.

Good ear! I got different information when I first Googled it but I think it’s Johnny Desmond. I have to plead ignorance because the Miss America pageant was not something I watched very often growing up.

The recording in the commercial is definitely Johnny Desmond's, released in 1955.
