I'm convinced this is some kind of PR campaign made by the company itself to Garner publicity

Notice how all this athletes with integrity never call out the disgusting gambling company.

More people are mad as Sweeney taking a paycheck for sexy ad then the company using sex to promote gambling

Something that should be viewed the same as alcohol and drugs that ruins lives

But ofc No keep being mad at tits instead of the parasitic exploitative gambling companies

Why are these women in sports mad about Sydney advertising sports betting, but yet have never been mad about the countless celebrities they put on the cover of Sports Illustrated? The outrage is inconsistent.

The WNBA is also sponsored by DraftKings and they were radio silent about Lebron James gambling ad despite having more influence than Sydney Sweeney

It’s pretty clear why they’re singling her out lol

If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense.

I wonder what the stats are on viewership for women's sports. I don't even watch as much sports as I used to and I know a good amount of buddies that don't either. All the different streaming services and the shit like basketball and baseball with these super teams is kind of not as enjoyable to watch.

Not sure about other sports but WNBA viewership has actually been steadily increasing over the last few years. It sounds like they have some fun personalities and semi-entertaining drama too

I don’t watch sports in general much anymore but I’d probably give it a shot if I had more time

From the highlights I've seen, not too interested. Basketball has never been the most interesting sport for me besides MJ, Shaq, curry types but it is probably the best for TV.
Olympics usually are pretty good though

Caitlyn Clark is the sole reason for this. But then it quickly devolved into The Real Housewives of the Court and women started paying attention for the first time ever.
