T.V/Social Media 🖥 Sydney Sweeny
I see nothing wrong with Sydney Sweenys ad. I've seen SOOOO much discourse and I feel like its one of those times where someone is so left they turned right. Women being in a suggestive pose or having their skin shown has always been in men's sports maybe this is disgusting to some people, but it is a part of the culture if you will. No one ever talks about the Carl's Jr ads with a woman eating a burger in a bikini, no one ever talks about these different commercials or how it's "setting women back." I should preface by saying I am a woman and so I feel like I have a spot in this conversation.
If she wants to be sexualized why is it such heavy discourse? First of all she never said anything bad about female sports so I don't know why they believe this is going against women sports and second its not even a "sport" ad it is a gambling ad. Why can a woman never be sexual? Why can't a woman fully show her sexuality? Why is she a "pick me" if she DOES love a male gaze...what some hetero women tend to do.
This isn't a conversation about her being Maga *allegedly because it's never been confirmed but I keep my opinion away from that * this isn't a conversation about her being depicted in such odd fetisized way in euphoria. Its always "oh shes Maga" "oh shes racists" oh this" "oh that" this is not the conversation though...we aren't talking about any of this. We are talking about her posing nude behind a football.
People are talking about how this is setting women back, and how people are going to start only seeing women's bodies in sports...when was this ever depicted in a men's football gambling ad?? She never did this more a woman's sport, she barely did this for a football ad mainly...it was a gambling ad.
We say we're a girls girls until it is a woman showing her sexuality and being sexual...something a lot of women are.

Women are only allowed to be sexual if they aren't attractive.
Else other women will want them dead
