The best thing i saw today was a person that said "at least she didn't strangle her kids in the basement today". I think there are bigger things to worry about than a female in a commercial for a gambling site. Lets look at the real issues going on. Womens mental health. Women being gaslighted in medical offices. The issues that need attention not because a woman in shorts does a gambling commercial.
The commercial actress is a 10 beauty wise.
Little and young girls are watching this commercial, about one million young children all together.
Whoopie in a movie played a
NY Knicks head coach.
She's overrated
Ah yeah its a controversy is a woman does it but not a controversy when men do it 😭
The meltdowns are funny.
First off, let's start by saying that The View is a woke joke. Women have not been fighting the sexualization of women's sports because women are the ones who sexualize it. No one forces the women in track and field, gymnastics, beach volleyball, diving, water polo, tennis, boxing, etc… to compete with their butt cheeks exposed for all the world to see. Alycia Baumgardner boxes wearing a G-string. Even some of the women in the WNBA pull up the legs of their shorts and tuck it into their undergarments because they want to show more leg. So stop with the lies and BS! They actually make excuses for not dressing modestly. The women in track and field use the excuse of less chaffing and less wind resistance, meanwhile Keely Hodgkinson won her race by 2 seconds at Athlos London wearing a full body suit, and she set a new record. I've never seen Sydney McLaughlin run with her butt cheeks exposed and she's one of the fastest women ever. The German women's gymnastics team wore unitards at the 2020 and 2024 Olympics because they realized they don't need to be showing their butt cheeks while competing and got flack for doing so. Sydney Sweeney's ad reinforces nothing that wasn't already enforced by the female athletes themselves. Her ad was about sports betting, not women in sports! Was it an unnecessary ad, yes. Does it reflect women in sports, no, unless you look at from the standpoint that women in sports deliberately try to show off as much skin as possible because they like the attention and feel it will bring in more male viewers. If women don't want to be sexualized in sports, maybe they should start with what they wear while competing in sports! Also, Sydney sweeney has played various sports in school, so she is also an athlete. Do your research. She decided to do acting for a living instead of sports. The left will always try to make excuses when members of their party do they same thing they are complaining about. No one had a problem with Serena Williams, Rhonda Rousey, Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe, etc…, posing nude for ESPN. Also, there is nothing wrong with gambling if that's what people want to do, it's not physically hurting anyone.
This is a fun music video you'll enjoy… About this subject. 😉 https://youtu.be/n6aj9DSpa6k?is=gNq79hj2YBQovwKH
Her ad presentation disturbs our family when our children watching a show and the ridiculous ad shows up. What a world we live in now and how much more pathetic it will be?
Before Sidney was an actor she At age 18, she entered her first grappling tournament.With no other women in her division, she competed against men in a higher weight class and won first place.Her active fighting and sparring eventually stopped when major acting roles, such as Euphoria and The Handmaid's Tale, introduced studio contract clauses prohibiting risky combat sports due to potential injury.She returned to intensive combat training to portray professional boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biographical film.
Hypocrites.
It's disconcerting about how many women take issue with the fact that Sidney Sweeney is supposed to desecrate female sports, but nobody seems to have a problem with the subject of the ad itself: betting. The fact that there can be commercials of this is just as wrecking as commercials for smoking or alcohol. It's addictive and has the potential to destroy lives. Everyone seems to have a stick in this argument, but almost all are hitting the wrong subject.
Brother believe me when people see athletes like Serena Williams posting photos like they said NO ONE is thinking wow look at this person’s athletic ability
Anything that offends the View hosts is a good thing.
Gambling is fucking up a lot of ppl ls lives right now. This trend will not end well
oh whoopie hang it up. sydney did nothing wrong. people including you are all crazy.
There are men playing in women's sports quite complaining
I don't buy the argument that 'It's ok if athletes do it' that's totally laughable. EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL you watch is trying to manipulate you, whether it's the whole mingling friends thing, or mixed families, or making food look better than what you actually get. This is an ad for sports betting, and it's DEFINITELY going to get men's attention to the site.
She thanks everyone for talking about and covering this ad. Cha ching! Cha ching!
Maybe we could stroll back in time to those View episodes where the hosts berated those female athletes appearing in the ESPN Body Issue wearing little or no clothing. Wait, the hosts weren't outraged about Serena and Venus Williams, Meg Rapinoe, Sue Bird, Abby Wambach, Hope Solo, Candace Parker, or Katelyn Ohashi? Interesting, an actress undressed in a betting ad is bad for women in sports, but actual women in sports undressed in a sports publication is not bad. The constant hypocrisy of The View is hilarious!
Why are you trying to restrict what women can do with their bodies? I guess the view is conservative now
Get married your gambling, go drive on the freeway its a gamble etc. Most gamblers don't do it much and do have control. Like fast food places, most that go don't have eating problems.
The same people that championed Marilyn Monroe are claiming something different for this woman now. Amzing how history repeats itself just on the other side of the coin.
The View is so desperate for content they have to attack an actress for acting. So sad.
How many trans were playing college basketball when Dylan mulvaney promoted bud light during March Madness? These women are all hypocrites.
1: their are female athletes and olympian athletes who have OF accounts.
2: If anything Sydney is bringing more attention to female athletes
Why is it an issue when they cant even tell you what a woman is…
Like anyone in this conversation suddenly has a passion for being against gambling!😂
Adults can make their own decisions those
decisions can turn into bad ones which can not only hurt them but effect their love too.
Idk why people are so mad. It’s an AD for GAMBLING. NOT SPORTS. Find something else to be mad about 🙄🙄🙄
People hating that theres not as beautiful as her 🤣
Her body, her choice. Get over it.
😂
WOMEN WHO HATE SYDNEY ARE JUST JEALOUS.
MEN HATE SYDNEY BC THEY CAN'T HAVE HER.
THIS AD IS ABOUT BETTING ON SPORTS.
STOP HATING SYDNEY & LET'S SPREAD PEACE.
Looking forward to a "Mom School" series soon! Congratulations Alex and Vance!
Do we not have bigger issues than Sydney ads ? Leave this woman alone.
