I watched the following vid and was overjoyed to see a chick finally kick arse at a male sporting event. But a little research later revealed that our bat girl never made this Spidey-inspired catch; the vid is actually a staged advertisement for Gatorade. The illegitimacy of the play makes me wonder if the Gatorade folks are mocking women's athletic potential with this ad, or on the flip side, if they're seeking to unsettle established gender norms and advance the girls-can-do-anything message. Or a bit a both? Tell me what you think.

Did the girl do the acting and actually make the catch or was it a guy and they edited it to look like a girl jumping? Cause, if she made the catch then I don't think there is an issue at all.
Obviously it's staged for the commercial, and would be even if it was a bat-Boy. If a bat-person did this in the middle of a game they would be removed and fired!
