Serena Williams Oscars 2019: Nike's new "Dream Crazier" ad about women being called "crazy" has social media cheering - CBS News. Nike unveiled a new 90-second commercial that tackles the gender bias women face at work and in life, featuring several prominent female athletes. Tennis star Serena Williams narrates the "Dream Crazier" ad, which debuted during Sunday night's Academy Awards. The ad runs down a list of negative adjectives women sometimes encounter, while showing footage of female sports figures giving their all. "If we show emotion, we're called dramatic," Williams says in the ad. "If we want to play against men, we're nuts.

And if we dream of equal opportunity, delusional. " "When we stand for something, we're unhinged," she continues. Williams, who has faced her own share of sexism, then turns those put-downs on their head. "So if they want to call you crazy, fine," she declares. Fans on Twitter loved the commercial.
