NFL Legend Peyton Manning dominates the Superior Bowl
One of the ways to make a Super Bowl commercial notable is to get stars from any and everywhere. It seems like Michelob Ultra knew the trick. They got some of the biggest names in sports and got them under one roof.
One of the athletes featured in the commercial was Nneka Ogwumike. Ogwumike is a LA Sparks star and the current president of the WNBPA. In an interview, she said, “It’s all about accessibility and representation,” Ogwumike adds, “The Super Bowl, especially in our country is a huge week for sports and ultimately for impressionable young athletes and aspirers. To see myself in a Super Bowl ad means that there’s other aspiring young athletes who see themselves in me.”
The Super Bowl ads featured other superstars like Peyton Manning, Jimmy Butler, and soccer player Alex Morgan, all competing in a bowling game called Superior Bowl. Everybody was doing well and scoring nothing but strikes every turn. Brooks Koepka and Steve Buscemi were also in the bowling alley as a spectator and worker. It seemed like Manning was about to win it all, but a tough competitor showed up.
