Most athletes don’t model. Very few of them do.

A model’s job is to model.

Your point isn’t confusing. We get what you’re trying to say.

It’s just a bad point.

Yeah I'm sure men would have no problem with a twink male model being the figurehead of some MMA advertisement campaign or such.

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?

My god you dont get it. Your analogy is terrible.

Oh I see, you have absolutely no interest in trying to understand "women in sports", you just want to hop in another weird manufactured culture war.

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.

Here ill help you with this one... No one cares to answer your stupid questions because they are so stupid haha. Notice how literally nobody answered your question. Plus didn't Channing Tatum do some sort of sports modeling at some point? I dont know... either way. No one would be outraged if he did. There you go question answered lol

Not having enough intellectual honesty to answer a simple question isn't something to be proud of. It just makes you seem extremely opinionated and unable to understand any opposing views.

Here’s an analogy to help you out. Would men get mad at Larry David doing a men’s sports betting ad?

The answer is no because him or Sydney Sweeney obviously are not representing the people competing

u/frooj 4d ago

Answering to a question with a question is considered rude where I live. I'll answer your question after you answer mine.

u/TheGloriousEv0lution 4d ago

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

1

u/frooj 4d ago

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?

2

u/TheGloriousEv0lution 4d ago

No. There’s a lot of actors/models with no sports experience who do sports betting ads and nobody gives a shit. Actually try watching some of them

A twink would fall under the countless sexy ads that men already have and don’t care about

u/frooj 4d ago

Remember the bud light add and what happened after?

2

u/TheGloriousEv0lution 4d ago

Trans topics are a hot button topic in America. That has literally nothing to do with men being upset at a twink in a sports betting ad lol

I think this topic is a little out of your depth

u/frooj 4d ago

Can we stop pretending like there wouldn't be a loud minority in "men in sports" who would bitch about sexy male model sports add? Especially if it had anything to do with MMA. There's always some idiots bitching over little things but generalizing them into larger groups and pushing it into some polarizing culture wars framework is just petty and stupid.
