It argues that the ad exploits female nudity to appeal to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fmr-qb-robert-griffin-iii-puts-out-post-bashing-critics-of-taylor-swift-immediately-obliterated-in-his-own-comment-section\/\" title=\"Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III faces backlash after defending Taylor Swift and criticizing her critics in a social media post\">predominantly male audience<\/a> and exposes the hypocritical stance of liberal feminists, who often champion body positivity and sex positivity but criticize this instance of female objectification.The piece questions why such portrayals are accepted when they involve celebrities but condemned when related to female athletes or sports, highlighting the ongoing issues of the invasion of women\u2019s sports by men and the lack of sufficient outrage or action from women in sports. It emphasizes that while Sweeney\u2019s nudity doesn\u2019t threaten athletic titles or opportunities, the broader systemic encroachment on female sports by male competitors is a significant threat. the article suggests liberal hypocrisy and inconsistent feminist responses undermine efforts to defend women\u2019s sports and opportunities, and it criticizes the societal double standards regarding female objectification versus athletic integrity.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>People had a problem with Sydney Sweeney\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/07\/30\/why-sydney-sweeney-american-eagle-jeans-ad-controversial-explainer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">great jeans<\/a>. So she decided to just take them off.<\/p>\n<p>By now, everyone has seen Sweeney\u2019s new raunchy commercial \u2026 and no doubt more than once, for many. The ad is a collaboration with the sports trading market Novig, in which Sweeney has traded in denim for footballs and hockey sticks to drive home the company\u2019s motto and singular purpose of \u201cjust sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a promo for a betting app, Novig and its dual model-investor Sweeney are obviously playing to their majority-male audience, and it\u2019s a lock that this new exposure will only parlay into serious profits. But in its airing, the ad has somehow managed to bare even more than just Sweeney\u2019s own body. It has exposed the utterly naked hypocrisy of liberal \u201cfeminists\u201d themselves.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been fascinating to see that this is the semi-nude model on camera who suddenly breaks the \u201cher body, her choice\u201d mindset. Yes, this is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-season-two-bridgerton-realizes-subtlety-is-sexier-than-sleaze\/\" title=\"In Season Two, \u2018Bridgerton\u2019 Realizes Subtlety Is Sexier Than Sleaze\">essentially soft-core porn<\/a> which only serves to objectify the female body. No, it does not help female image in the least, not that that was ever its intended purpose.<\/p>\n<p>But isn\u2019t this exactly what usually elicits a \u201cyaaasss, queen!\u201d from the left in the first place? After all, such ideological adherents applaud OnlyFans as liberating, hail porn as empowering, and glamorize prostitution as \u201csex work.\u201d Yet somehow, this particular act of female commodification seems to be one peek-a-boob too far.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t need to pretend that, stripped all the way down, this offense isn\u2019t about anything other than the \u201cright\u201d politics, which ironically can never be found on the right. That if Sydney weren\u2019t a white, blonde, supposed \u201cMAGA Barbie,\u201d and instead carried an extra 50 pounds, plus a Y chromosome to boot, this wouldn\u2019t be extolled as anything other than pure body positivity.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, it comes down to an issue of perceived disrespect to female sports and its athletes, which is slightly tough to reconcile given that, one, it is not advertising female sports whatsoever, and two, how soon ESPN\u2019s own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/entertainment\/slideshow\/2096406\/espn-body-issue-naked-athletes-2019\/3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nude athlete photoshoots<\/a> of yesteryear have been forgotten. Regardless, there has been no shortage of public railing about these particular 59 seconds \u201csending women\u2019s sports backward.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t describe how infuriated I feel when I watch this,\u201d wrote Olympic swimmer and gold medalist Ariarne Titmus. \u201cHow do we live in a world where monetizing a woman\u2019s body and sexualizing women\u2019s sport is still a thing?\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>U.S. gymnast Gracie Kramer called the ad <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/style\/2026\/09\/15\/what-sydney-sweeney-nudity-controversy-is-really-about\/?utm_source=gemini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cinfuriating.\u201d<\/a> Chinese-German rugby player, Sofie Fella, called the ad <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/sydney-sweeney-ad-novig-02491031050ed505840b8bda8ac2fdb3?utm_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cdisrespectful\u201d<\/a> to female athletes. <\/p>\n<p>To every athlete who found the courage in herself to go off on this in the past few days, may I ask where the h-ll your outrage has been for years while men have and continue to invade and degrade women\u2019s sports around the track, in the pool, and on the field?<\/p>\n<p>Why is this ad \u201ca kick in the face to every woman who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft,\u201d but a man stealing her title, trophy, and overall opportunity can be brushed off as negligible?<\/p>\n<p>How is this considered \u201cdamaging for young females getting into sport,\u201d yet gaslighting girls that the male intruder in one\u2019s female competition should be celebrated is somehow not damaging enough to mention?<\/p>\n<p>It certainly is a bit difficult to take these qualms of alleged debasement seriously when so much else has been at best overlooked, and, at worst, cheered on by other women in their own field. Presumably these women remember the saga of Mr. Will \u201cLia\u201d Thomas, the subaverage Aquaman antagonist of the NCAA who everyone could see lapping women, yet no one could spare a word.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps they recall that not-so-magical summer in Paris within the boxing ring where two men could punch women in the face on the biggest athletic stage, and male-on-female violence became no longer simply acceptable, but a spectacle to officiate and judge. Or maybe they\u2019re familiar with California\u2019s newest male track star, AB Hernandez, who has made a name for himself winning title after title \u2026 within the female division.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, these are only three of the more than 1,000 boys and men who have infringed on female sports, and therefore more than 1,000 opportunities for such female defenders to speak up and stand up for female athletes. And yet, only a handful of women in athletics have found the grit to do so.<\/p>\n<p>This is the real issue sending women\u2019s sports backward.<\/p>\n<p>Sydney Sweeney stripped her clothes, but she never stripped a title, a medal, or an opportunity to compete. She may have crushed this ad, but she never crushed an athlete\u2019s lifelong goals. While she may get quite a few men to forfeit their money on this app, she will never cause a woman to forfeit against an intruder in her own league. But still, others would rather wage a campaign against the wrong kind of woman than for the right kind of cause.<\/p>\n<p>It is insane that it took pigskin on a woman\u2019s skin to wake up the left to come to the defense of female athletes, but ethics were never exactly a favorite in this game. So the question remains: what are the odds of such hypocrites ever managing to find and keep an ounce of sisterly consistency for their fellow females?<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that\u2019s just not a bet worth making.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p>      Sarah Kendis is an oboist and writer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
