Sydney Sweeney gambling ad sparks athlete outrage
Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney's revealing gambling advertisement has sparked global criticism from female athletes, including Australian Olympians Sally Pearson and Tilly Kearns. The provocative sports betting campaign has been condemned for sexualising women's bodies rather than celebrating athletic achievements, with critics arguing it reverses decades of progress in women's sport. The controversy follows previous backlash over Sweeney's American Eagles campaign and the box office failure of her latest film.
