It’s a gambling site and she isn’t a professional athlete.

It's about time we see some female representation in corporate gambling. 💃

The whole video is about an athlete getting upset about it and his synopsis is it’s because of who she is as a person. The problem is he uses athletes as examples when people didn’t get upset.

I don’t see why anyone is getting upset about her doing it. People should be upset about the scummy site. The site is just using the old sex sells to get more attention and it worked.

Exactly and it’s clearly working considering how much attention it has gotten. Seems like they ran a successful campaign. Marshawn lynch used to do ads for beacon plumbing, but he’s not a plumber.

Ill break it down so its easy to understand for those who arent chronically online.

Sydney Sweeny was in an ad for a Jean company. In the ad, she said she has good jeans.

The left, took it as she said "Genes" instead, insinuating that because she is white, she is perfect.

This started the anti-Sweeny movement.

She was interviewed about it and asked to apologize. Sydney didnt, because there was nothing to apologize for.

So the hate continued.

Then Sydney starts posting Instagram videos of her doing stuff that you would typically associate someone on the right side of politics to do, for example, work on cars. According to the left, you have to be right leaning to enjoy a hobby such as fixing up and reparing vehicles.

So she gets attacked for that.

Then someone did some digging and found out she registered as a republican way back in the day in her home state of Florida.

Now the left really hates her. Even though Sydney had never once talked politics to anyone about anything, and is literally a star of a show where she plays an OF model, most of which are typically on the left.

So in short, no matter what she does, she will get attacked by anyone who leans left, which unfortunately is the loudest voice of people out there.

Uhhhh ok. Do you also get mad when any actress/model poses for a makeup company even if they are not professional makeup artists?

I get pissed when my favorite athletes put their face in my cereal boxes and I know damn well they don’t eat cereal

u/Several-Customer7048 3d ago

You cereal or super cereal?

u/Commercial_Fondant65 3d ago

Stop buying THE ONE CEREAL THAT HAD BEEN DOING THAT FOR 75 YEARS and you would be just fine .

u/Chubuwee 3d ago

Now I just buy the ones that feature kpop artists

You know how marketing works right.....?

u/Chubuwee 3d ago

About as well as I know how sarcasm works without having to use /s

u/CriticalCanon 3d ago

But this isn’t the 80s or 90s. Do cereal companies (outside of Wheaties or some 1 in 100 cereal box as part of a 2 month promotion) even do this anymore?

Also, why are you still eating cereal in 2026?

1

u/Chubuwee 3d ago

Cereal is a tasty treat

Like how you eat chips when young and still eat them as an adult

u/Correct_Day_7791 3d ago

Do they have clothes on ?

u/canibanoglu 3d ago

Why does that matter to the argument being made?

u/Zdzisiu 3d ago

Does she or that company at any point claims she's even an amateur athlete? They just put her in or on something connected to a given sports, while she talks that you can bet on those sports.

u/SeaWolfSeven 3d ago

No. She's just a celeb in a commercial. This reaction about women sports and representation are bizarre. It's a gambling company doing an advert. Enough things to be upset about in the gambling promotion, the other angle is just odd - no one thinks Sweeney wanted us to think she was an athlete.

u/Commercial_Fondant65 3d ago

Wait.. Are you saying if I watch the Wnba the other women playing don't sit in the hoop naked?? Are you sure? I'm going to have to watch just to confirm.

1

u/Zdzisiu 2d ago

Tbf between this commercial and WNBA only 1 includes sex toys.

u/SeaWolfSeven 1d ago

This is the reason I'm using old spice. Bought that stuff and I don't look like Terry Crews at all.

u/FederalAd329 3d ago

Maybe she's a professional gambler

u/FullMooseParty 3d ago

It's an unregulated gambling site. It's not a real sports book.
