ESPN Fencing commercial?

[Coup de Grace]

If you blink, you'll miss it. As part of their NCAA Championship promotion, ESPN is running a commercial featuring the unsung, no name players of NCAA (USA college) sports. While the voice over lauds the athletes, clips of track and field events, basketball, swimming and...was that two seconds of a fencing match?...flash by. It is quick. You'll see an attack and it moves on.

But, fencing made the cut. Somewhere across the country there is a bar full of angry Lacrosse players yelling at the TV. "It could have been us!"
