Mo'Ne Davis Tugs on Feminist Heartstrings in New Ad

This isn’t a Chevy endorsement; just an acknowledgement of Mo’Ne Davis’ strengths as a motivational speaker. In the minute-long ad, Davis dictates a letter to the good ole U.S. of A that starts out: “Dear United States of America, I am 13 years old. This summer was the best summer of my young life.” Watch it:

The tearjerker moment comes when she says:

“I have a passion. Every day of the week, I’m playing soccer, basketball or baseball. I stand for girls who want to play sports with the boys and to be a role model for people, young and old. I throw 70 miles per hour. That’s throwing like a girl!”

Tell ’em. There were fears that the commercial could adversely affect her college prospects, but ESPN writes:

Appearing in a commercial that aired during Game 1 of the World Series will not compromise the amateur status of Little League pitcher Mo’ne Davis should she choose to play college sports.
