Sydney Sweeney is doing what Sydney Sweeney does.
She is hot and she knows it. She is using her hotness to sell something. The something happens to be Novig, a sports betting app.
So she’s holding footballs.
She is not pretending to be an athlete; she is being a woman men like to look at.
That is the entire point of the ad.
Predictably, a posse of female athletes is furious.
Former UCLA gymnast Gracie Kramer posted a training montage: “idk what Sydney Sweeney was doing, but this is what a woman in sports looks like.”
Sydney isn’t claiming to be an athlete — she’s just being hot while holding sports balls.
Kramer said female athletes have been over-sexualized and forced to fight to be taken seriously.
Female gymnasts are taken seriously: Gymnastics may be the only sport on Earth where the women are taken more seriously than the men.
Kramer claimed the ad proves women’s sports are “marketed through the male gaze.”
But Novig isn’t marketing women’s sports: It’s marketing a betting app for men.
“We should not have to take our clothes off to convince men that women belong in sports,” Kramer lectured.

That is all.
Reminds me of that clown Sid Rosenberg in NYC talk radio who was once fired from Don Imus' radio show (which means he REALLY had to be over the top) after an exchange about a topic related to this one.
In response to a comment from a caller or another host who predicted that tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams would one day be featured in Playboy magazine, he said: "You're more likely to see them in National Geographic."
Because they are out of control, jealous witches.
A handful of bitter lesbians do not speak for “women in sports”.
So tired of the media finding two or three leftists to speak for entire populations so they can have some fake controversy.
I guarantee to you 99.95% of “women in sports” do not give a damn.
This is simply another 100% manufactured outrage. Sydney Sweeney is an actress...and model. I’m pretty sure she has never claimed to be an athlete. Today’s manufactured outrage is the quarterback who laughed at the AI video of the reporter getting slapped by the coach. Both of these controversies are stupid.
But you do it for every track, field, figure-skating, gymnastics, and beach volleyball event. You're not required to do it, so where's the beef?
Right! At least keep wearing what's left of your clothes!
Nope, a simple XX/XY chromosome test from a blood draw would resolve all of the issues.
I thought her video ad was selling sexy under clothes or something.
Now, the Hard Left Feminine political criticism makes sense.
From memory - Sweeney was captain of one of her high school sports teams - possibly basketball.
Hoo-boy! I agree with that. Where can I buy a couple Australian volleyballs?
We went to beach volleyball at the ‘96 Olympics.
I enjoyed it! Besides attractive women playing, we were sitting near a big section of Brazilians. They were a HOOT, having a great time, fun to watch.
Both cases have one thing in common: retarded liberals trying to deny biology.
But if she had a penis, while playing in women's sport, that would fine.
Women have traded or sold their bodies for goods, gold, and glamour since Eve bit the apple.
Wake me when something changes.
I do like Sydney for her mechanical acumen and attention to old cars.
“Sydney Sweeney was the captain of her Pinckney High School volleyball team, serving as a setter and opposite hitter. While she also played varsity soccer (wearing #27) and basketball, the recruiting profiles and bios specifically list her as captain only for volleyball, where she was a junior varsity captain for seven years.”
Some wymyns apparently need to do some fact checking before coming out as retards....
Leftist liberal loony women are trying to take all the fun out of being female. Is it because they are all so ugly inside and out?
I don’t know what gymnast Gracie Kramer is doing but Sydney Sweeney is making a ton of money looking fantastic. Maybe Sydney isn’t a great gymnast but Gracie isn’t a great actor or model. Not everybody can everything.
Kramer claimed the ad proves women’s sports are “marketed through the male gaze.”

Like women don’t find her hot too.
