The client was looking for talent of all races that could portray a strong, confident, athletic woman while hearing things like "You throw like a girl!" and "Girls can't play sports!" as the camera rotates around them. The only line the booked talent will have is a confident and defiant "Thanks!" into the camera as it comes to her face and as her shot goes swoosh!
