Sydney Sweeney STILL loves sports

Now available in 4K, this American drama-thriller-mystery (but really more of an art film) comes from an era when people came out of the theater debating about the film’s important ideas.

As our hero would say “major league yabbos”
Sweeney is now getting a lot of blowback about these ads from a subset of women athletes and other critics who say that she is sexualizing women’s sports and that the focus should be on women athletes’ performances, not their bodies. Sweeney has pointed out in response that any number of women athletes have posed fully in the nude without it being seen as inappropriate sexualization. (Quite a number of these athletes have been featured on this forum.)
I strongly agree with Ms. Sweeney. There is nothing wrong with sexualization per se. Human beings are sexual and most people see this as a highly positive thing. There is nothing wrong for women (and for men) to show off their sexuality. Sexualization is wrong if it is imposed on someone without their consent, including in situations where the person is without an ability to consent, such as in the case of children. Sexualization is not wrong if it is done consciously by a person with agency, such as a matter of body and sex positivity. Ms. Sweeney is free to ‘sexualize’ herself.
If actual women athletes can pose in the nude in ways that obviously include showcasing the attractiveness of their bodies without this being seen as detracting from also appreciating the performance of women athletes, then I don’t see what is wrong here. In any case, Miss Sweeney is not actually a woman athlete and the ads in question are rather a tongue-in-cheek way of using sex appeal to sell a product related to sports, including her poking a bit of fun at her own sexual image image. I don’t see the problem with that either, unless you don’t have any sense of humour. And even less than actual women athletes posing in the nude do they raise any issue of inappropriately sexualizing women’s sports.
My only real problem with the ads is that they promote a form of sports betting. I am very much against this betting and I wish that laws against it would be reinstated. But as for people – including Ms. Sweeney – showing off their sexuality, I have no problem at all.
