“One day, we won’t need this day. We won’t need a day to celebrate how far we’ve come. We won’t need a day to prove we’re just as fast or strong or skilled. We won’t need a day to relive the comebacks, the firsts or the titles we’ve won. We won’t need a day to rally behind the ones fighting to change the rules. One day, we won’t need this day at all. Because one day this day will be our every day,” the narrator said in the ad.
