A recent Nike ad called "Unlimited Future" is drawing criticism online.
The ad, which debuted on YouTube, is stirring controversy because it invokes the imagery of a sweatshop. Nike was criticized in the 1990s for allegedly using factories with poor working conditions. The company eventually apologized for failing to monitor factories.
The video, which has over 7 million views, comes equipped with the tagline, "Champions weren't born champions. They were born babies."
On Twitter, Nike wrote, "Champions aren't born. They're made."
