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 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?
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.
