Can we all agree that the most beautiful thing in the world is seeing parents smiling? To top it off, if their kids are the reason behind that smile on their faces, there is nothing else that can compare to that feeling and moment. Such was the scenario for Diana Flores, quarterback for Mexico’s world-champion women’s national flag football team. She shared a wholesome and emotional moment with her parents when they found out about the reality.

While it may have been Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts battling in the center stage for their teams for Super Bowl LVII, Flores was not far behind in capturing the hearts and minds of football fans all over the world.

A gift of a lifetime by Diana Flores to her parents 

The Super Bowl LVII was not only about who would take the trophy home between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. It was also about women driving the sport of flag football forward. Diana Flores not only showed off her silky moves, but she was also the main character in this year’s Super Bowl ‘Run with it’ commercial.

Apart from this, the fact that Flores kept her role in the commercial a secret to surprise her parents makes it an even more special occasion. Seeing her parents cry tears of joy for her is something people wish to experience in their lives.

The commercial features the likes of NFL players such as Sauce Gardner, Cam Hayward, Jalen Ramsey and Jim Kelley, to name a few. All of them attempt to take one of her flags, while Flores breezes past them. Dianna commented on the post shared by the NFL on Instagram, “Speechless…from the bottom of my heart and for all women in sports who are represented in this commercial. THANK YOU NFL. Gracias familia la familia lo ese todo.”
