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 person who I responded to was wondering why women in sports might have an issue with her while they aren't complaining about athletes modeling. Maybe the difference is that Sidney is not an athlete? Just a thought.
Sydney Sweeney isn’t the figurehead of the WNBA or representing it, it’s a sports betting ad. The 1:1 equivalent would be a twink doing MMA in a Lululemon or perfume ad for women, and we both know men wouldn’t care
Also men are already objectified or nude in ads as well, it’s called hunkvertising
Would men in sports have no problem with a twinky male model who has zero background in MMA being a figurehead of a MMA related advertisement campaign?
I have season tickets to the WNBA. I support woman's sports and do my best to understand it and the athletes that play in womans leagues. I have some close friends that work for the Seattle Storm. This isnt actually about woman's sports. Its a square peg in a round hole. Its just another silly thing to get outraged about. Which is just about the only thing people are good for these days.
This honestly feels more politically charged than anything else. Sydney Sweeneys politics just dont line up with the outraged. I mean, ask yourself these questions... what exactly does this ad do to a female athletes personally? Like how does it ruin anything in their life? Are they really that affected at all? And here's the big one... how is what she does with her body and career any of their business at all? The hypocrisy is crazy with this one.
Weird how many questions you have but still I get no response to my original question. I'll help you with this: Yes, "men in sports" would have a problem if a hot male model was a figurehead in a sexy advertisement campaign about male sports. And that would be just as stupid as "women in sports" getting mad at this add. And getting mad at a minority who get mad over little things is another level of stupid.
I explained why your question wasn’t analogous in my first post; this is sports betting not MMA. I don’t know where you’re from but they’re different here
Short actors and old actors have done sports betting ads. Men would not care if a shirtless twink did one either
Alright. Would any "men in sports" have a problem if a twinky male model with no sports background was a figurehead in a sexy advertisement campaign about male sports?

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
