Am I a bad person?” asked William Dafoe, as LeBron James rolled his eyes. As the video further progressed, viewers were taken on a ride featuring countless more known faces from French footballer Kylian Mbappe to sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson and tennis rockstar Serena Williams. However, what caught the most attention was Dafoe’s voiceover. Pointing out negative words often used to describe athletes, the video ended with “Winning isn’t for everyone” sprawled across the screen in red, in the lead-up to the upcoming Olympic Games.

The caption of the video aptly summed up the emotion, too—”Winning Isn’t For Everyone. It’s for those who do whatever it takes. You can’t win them all, but you should sure as hell try. Bring on the odds, play like you mean it. Because if you don’t want to win, congrats. You’ve already lost.” And like heaps of social media users praising the video, Travis Kelce’s former partner Kayla Nicole was left impressed, as she reshared the post on her Instagram Stories.

The model also asked a question to her followers: “How can you not love sports?” Well, it’s unknown how many fans have replied back, one thing’s for sure: Nicole has an unmatched passion for sports. A passion that even pushed her to dabble in the industry.

Notably, Nicole pursued a degree in broadcast journalism from Pepperdine University in 2013, and went on to become an on-air sports journalist.
