@@cromwellrocks4514 Love that idea!
I'd love if you posted more frequently
By the way how long does it take to make 1 video?
Ok
Hey there! Here some thoughts by a fan of your channel:
I do not agree that an event organiser can own only âthe right to a name or symbolâ. An event organiser can also own venues and decide almost freely what can and cannot be done inside those venues, including what can and cannot be filmed/recorded. Consequently, an event organiser can ensure that it owns all images and videos taken/made inside of those venues (copyrights and trademark protection are not always applicable to those images, but you can create other forms of intellectual property protection).
Moreover, the event organiser can decide more or less whatever it wants concerning the criteria that athletes must meet in order to participate in the competitions, and therefore control their behaviour, even their commercial one! A point definitely worthy of analysis is the limit to this power of the event organiser with regards to the commercial freedom of the participants (see the decision by the German Cartel Office on 27.02.2019 granting German athletes further advertising opportunities during the Olympic Games).
Side note: I was a bit disappointed that you didnât mention another gem of ambush marketing: the campaign by Dr Dre to advertise his Beats headphones during the 2012 London Olympics by simply sending to the athletes free headphones with the respective country flag, thus achieving that many athletes were seeing using them before their competitions (e.g. Phelps before winning 6 medals...).
Amazing content as always. Cheers!
The quality of the videos just goes higher and higher. Absolutely fantastic.

@@harigovind6316 yes brother
@@sridevr2116 we r omnipresent. Haha.
"Nike just did it again" I see what you did there athletic interest..... đ
Damn didn't catch that
What he did there?
Nike's motto is Just Do It.
They Ambushed the Olympics in Atlanta with marketing.
I think he's insinuating Nike marketed ambushed the London Olympics. So he said they did it again.
@@coachjones6104 thats hilarious Thanks mateđđŒ
@@coachjones6104 Thanks!

It helps that Nike sponsor a lot of the individual teams / athletes.
And they do very similar campaigns around the FIFA World Cup, where Adidas are the official sponsors.
Damn no company out there can compete with Nike in terms of marketing
Pure genius
Perhaps Red Bull couldđ
@@saynotolgbt6963 perhaps. I can see them flying a plane during water events.
RedBull says hi
...and Apple
...And Coca Cola
In a nutshell : Nike is King in marketing
after beats
@@supdawgmate5729 Maybe he means in the sport wear segment
Apple also.
@@artoutlawphoto american companies in general hahahaahaha
Same with RedBull. How the hell energy drink company could afford to have F1 teams + in 2022 they will made their own engine
Remember when Michael Jordan covered the Reebok symbol with the U.S flag. Team Nike is no joke.
And all of the Dream Team unzipped their jackets in a way that you couldn't see the Reebok logo. Either they really didn't want to get on Jordan's bad side, or they really hoped they could get a Nike deal down the road.
The quality of this video can rival walt disney. CZcams came a long way
Rival Walt Disney. Seriously? Enjoy the video but donât be a fanboy to this level
@@theworkethic he's clearly stoned
9:16 "Nike *just did it* again" Quality line đ
Everything is perfect about this channel.
The stories- a lot of them which we don't know.
The images
The editing
And of course, the soothing voiceover which is perfect.
Brilliant channel
I would also go back to 92 olympics - Michael Jordan. MJ and Nike are synonymous with each other, and Jordan attending the olympics with the Dream Team was huge. Everyone knew he was covering the logo with the flag which ironically made the logo more obvious and bad in a cool way. (Jordan and Nike did this before in the NBA when his shoes were banned and the fine became the cheapest advertising campaign ever!)
they banned his shoes? is that what people mean when they say there was a Jordan rule?
@@SIRTACONATOR007they didn't ban his shoes, the colourway for them was banned, so he had to pay a fine of 5,000 dollars every time he wore them, which Nike paid each time for him. The Jordan Rules were created by the Bad Boy Detroit Pistons to prevent Jordan from scoring, brutally beating him down every time he entered the paint (the inner circle of the opponent's hoop).
At 2012 London games, McDonald's rights to sell fries were so exclusive that a diner that served food to contractors during preparations of
the opening ceremony was forced to stop selling chips. People got quite upset and after a week they brought the chips back but only allowed with a meal. I confirm.
It's stuff like that that makes me glad my city voted against hosting the winter Olympics
Stuff like this is why I support ambush marketing irregardless of the brand, the advertising exclusion areas around olympics sites are a joke
This is why cities - and countries - need to just stop welcoming the Olympics. They're a disaster.
The ioc is just corrupt
The fact he used Suits for visualization đ€©
Yeahhh
Athletic Interest is redefining CZcams Content. This is legendary stuff.
I remember at the 2017 athletics world Championships, there was a huge Puma Billboard with usain Bolt on. I can't remember the actual Sponsor of the Event but i still remember all the Puma/Bolt ads
I know alot of people have said this but c'mon this dude deserves at least 1m subs
The quality
The writing
The research and depth
100%
Dont cry about deserving more subs its takes time and do your part share the videos with people and on your social media accounts
at least 5 mil, their quality is on par/exceeds with Vox.
If this was on Netflix, I'd pay to watch it.
If it was on a Sports channel like ESPN, I'd watch it every night.
So much effort and care and quality goes into these videos, thank you so much!đ
Love how you had Bruce mcavaney commentating at the beginning, us Aussies are lucky to have him, his passion and knowledge should be appreciated the world over.
Fun fact: business logos used to be prohibited on Olympic uniforms to "preserve the amateur integrity of sport". This was back when professional athletes were also prohibited from participating. That is why Jim Thorpe had his medals taken away - he had allegedly played in a professional football game.
Aye! Thanks for the callout! Another great video you guys! Glad I can support the channel!
"Essential thing is to have fought well"
I love your channel. Quality that every CZcams channel should strive for.
This channel deserves to have millions of subscribers. The editing is BLOODY BRILLIANT.
Seriously every time one of your videos ends, i feel like standing up and applauding. But my colleagues will know i am skivving watching CZcams and not working...
The Football Medal Ceremony on Tokyo 2020 was a great example of this. The Brazilian team did not wear the tracksuit by PEAK, and wore the Nike match jersey. The Brazilian comitee went crazy (rightfully) saying it's a disrespectful with the other sports since everyone might lose their sponsorship over a dozen of spoiled players
Absolutely amazing content, I listen to your channel so that I could apply some concepts that the sports industry use in business and marketing. Thank you!!
What a great video. So polished, great graphics, great copy, lovely narration. Enjoyed it. Thank you.
Love the summary! This is the best sport channel on YT.
Love your content, the videos keep getting better and better!
Very interesting video, and the quality of the production keeps improving!
damn , the quality , the voice , the accent , the content , the informations... this channel is easily one of the best in youtube , in my humble opinion.
great video post.., you can tell you did a great amount of research. just subscribed.., keep it going
Amazing videos , easily u deserve 1mil. subs. Another interesting story with logo protection is the case of the Olympic Airways owned at the time from Onassis. He used initially the 5 circles and at the end due to IP issues he added a sixth one.
The olympics have been getting worse and worse every year and Nike just proves the corporate side of IOC
Every year??
well I loved that they added skateboarding haha
They allowed Japan's Olympics held now, when the temperature is 30 degrees at morning............
Athletes are dying
@@eh9296 well, its called *Summer* Olympic for a reason đ
@@Duzz1412 Yeah, but other Olympics or World Cups, for example Seoul Olympics and Quatar World Cup were postponed because of the heat.
Japan and IOC lied about the weather.
Wow!!! Absolutely amazing video!!! As always!!! Quality!!!
doubt I'm ever regularly looking forward to anything as much as your videos
Love hearing the voice of legendary Aussie commentator Bruce McAvaney at the start of the vid đđ
Just about to say this
Love the the channel and how you reveal the merger of sports and business. Thanks for your hard work.
Holy smokes that was the fastest sub Iâve ever seen. Amazing vid!
Fantastic video. One of your best!! Congrats!
Itâs really good to see that you are having more and more viewers
Great video!! I knew the IOC were IP bullies, but didn't realize the origin of the problem. Thanks!
I liked the video before even watching it because it's athletic interest, the quality of their videos is just amazingđđđ
You guys been killing it! đ„
Mad respect to you Brothers. Love your content
Super quality video and very informative. Iâm a huge sports fan who studied extensively about many sports like football, cricket, formula 1, tennis, rugby, etc and have so many interesting stories to tell but donât possess this type of video editing skills. May be one day when you run out of stories, hit me up and Iâll share some of them. Good luck!
As always an amazing video đ€Ż
Kudos to this channel always giving something new out of the box
The joy when you guys post is so immense
Why don't you make a series in sports marketing .......
Just amazing đ„¶đ„¶
Mate you are making great videos!
Genuinely the best channel on CZcams
You got me subscribed, man.
Holy shit, I have no words and I am in complete awe, so I just have to comment for the algorithm. Excellent work, as always!
Wow, these videos are something different, quality content.
I got a rebook ad and I feel like thatâs just beautiful đ
The best channel CZcams recommend me till date!
How do you even get such topics to put into videos? And here I am struggling to make even a PPT! Some serious work behind it!
Very nice vid man!
your channel is amazing man
Love this channel because of the quality of the videos
Thank you for your videos. Great quality.
This is literally the best channel on youtube.
Three unskippable ads before the video start, uao you are a champion
Great content keep up the good work
This was really good. Thank you and well done.
Thanks, Ricardo!
Great conclusion too! "It's a circle." đđ
Amazing work again.........!!!!!!
You are not just givivng info, you Made a whole docomentary Good job sir
Well done Sir, great story.
Fascinating video, thanks
the outro jingle is amazing
I was a games maker for the 2012 Olympics and I was in a role where I may appear on TV from time to time, and we weren't allowed any drinks with clear branding on them........ Including official partner products đ€Ż
Great article. Enlightening.
the best chanel . you should start doing a video atleast twice a week my humble request.
We'll try. But always quality > quantity đ
@@AthleticInterest yeah . it's time we conquer also quantity too. we need both of them .still my humble suggestion
@@AthleticInterest are you Kruegerâs voice actor from mw? You sound exactly just like him lol
I love the Bruce mcavaney commentary in the intro
great once again!
I really like the new intro!
For the first time am looking forward to longer videos. đ
This is one of the few channels that deserve 10's of millions of subscribers. In five years they will 15 mil i swear.
Awesome video. Thanks a lot. Very interesting
This is the defination of gold class content
My Favourite CZcams channel â€ïž
Bro i have not cared about your views or subs, i always thought you got a 5mln plus subs, U are such an under rated you tuber
Favourite channelđ„
I feel I just watched an 11-minute Nike advertisement about Nike advertising
I learn a lot from your videos đ
Love the Suits reference. Nike, just do it anyway.
NEXT LEVEL CONTENT đ„đŁ
I got a ad for the Nike app during this video đ€Ł
I'm addicted to your videos
Sure, exclusive sponsorship opportunities helped LA generate revenue from hosting the Olympics, but it was also the first city that didn't have to build new arenas and facilities in order to host the olympics. That fact was, in part, because hosting the Olympics had become so expensive in the modern age that many other countries removed their bid.
Imagine being a sports fan and not subscribing ATHLETIC INTEREST
You are Going to be a Nike in the CZcams market very soon. I am glad I found your channel
I can vouch for how prevalent the nike shoes on Johnson story was here in Australia. The host channel in Australia, ch7, had its anchor Bruce macevany wax lyrical repeatedly about Johnsons shoes on multplie broadcasts during the heats and finals and even the news channels mentioned it.
Also back then, bespoke shoes wasn't a common thing, so it was quite captivating.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was cash for comment payments to news readers and producers to highlight the shoes etc.
Two minutes in and Iâm captivated.
bro video was amazing
In Next Olympics athletic intrest will be their official sponsor
The thumbnail awesome
This guy makes even boring topics interesting đ
Nicely done video đđŸđđŸ. My question is if Messi goes to psg does it affect his sponsorship is addidas and would Nike now have 2 of the greatest footballers of all time under their belt?
Thanks! It's unlikely that this will affect Messi's partnership with Adidas, Barca was a Nike team as well. But Nike will probably be happy about all the jersey sales that his transfer will definitely bring for PSG đ
