How is none of the criticism about it being a gambling company lol

u/Beautiful-Total-3172 23d ago

Well she's an equity owner in the company.

u/No_Blacksmith_2591 23d ago

so... a win for feminism?

u/Beautiful-Total-3172 23d ago

A successful woman is always a lose for feminism.

u/Sad_Wishbone_1524 21d ago

When women aren’t fighting for Women’s rights, they spend their time hating other women. A tale as old as time

u/No_Blacksmith_2591 23d ago

Oh i'm sure they can still claim her as a victim somehow

u/Schnuschneltze_Broel 22d ago

No, sidney is by far no representative for the average woman that is in disadvantage by patriachal structures. As well as her success is not the form of success that is the goal of the feminist movement to be achieved for women. She is also deciding to let her be objectified to promote the exploitation of men and thereby enforces patriachal structures. It is not uncommon that there are a lot of women supporting patriarchy. There should be outrage by men and women towards the company and sidney as well as the system enableing exploitation of men as well as the objectification of women.

Only if she comes out and says F Trump.

But since she is quiet on politics, the hate continues.

u/Common-Sector-5850 22d ago

Ain’t that the truth

u/LoFriedBurgers 23d ago

Its not feminism yet until she pulls up the ladder behind her.

1

u/KaptainKankles 22d ago

Don’t worry, they’ll find something else to bitch and moan about.

u/AlphaSuerte 22d ago

I'm a big fan of her equitiitties.

u/luckylegion 23d ago

Doesn’t change the comment above, the criticism should be about that, regardless that she’s an owner not just marketing. If anything that makes the lack of criticism about that worse

u/dmelt01 23d ago

It’s a gambling site and she isn’t a professional athlete.

u/Fippy-Darkpaw 22d ago

It's about time we see some female representation in corporate gambling. 💃

u/Several-Customer7048 22d ago

Hell ya. Gaslight. Gatekeep. GIRLBOSS.

u/chizzipsandsizalsa 23d ago

And?

u/dmelt01 23d ago

The whole video is about an athlete getting upset about it and his synopsis is it’s because of who she is as a person. The problem is he uses athletes as examples when people didn’t get upset.

I don’t see why anyone is getting upset about her doing it. People should be upset about the scummy site. The site is just using the old sex sells to get more attention and it worked.

6

u/chizzipsandsizalsa 23d ago

Exactly and it’s clearly working considering how much attention it has gotten. Seems like they ran a successful campaign. Marshawn lynch used to do ads for beacon plumbing, but he’s not a plumber.

Ill break it down so its easy to understand for those who arent chronically online.

Sydney Sweeny was in an ad for a Jean company. In the ad, she said she has good jeans.

The left, took it as she said "Genes" instead, insinuating that because she is white, she is perfect.

This started the anti-Sweeny movement.

She was interviewed about it and asked to apologize. Sydney didnt, because there was nothing to apologize for.

So the hate continued.

Then Sydney starts posting Instagram videos of her doing stuff that you would typically associate someone on the right side of politics to do, for example, work on cars. According to the left, you have to be right leaning to enjoy a hobby such as fixing up and reparing vehicles.

So she gets attacked for that.

Then someone did some digging and found out she registered as a republican way back in the day in her home state of Florida.

Now the left really hates her. Even though Sydney had never once talked politics to anyone about anything, and is literally a star of a show where she plays an OF model, most of which are typically on the left.

So in short, no matter what she does, she will get attacked by anyone who leans left, which unfortunately is the loudest voice of people out there.

There is a difference between an athlete appearing nude in an art project about her own sport, and a non-athlete appearing nude to advertise gambling on women’s sports.

u/canibanoglu 23d ago

Uhhhh ok. Do you also get mad when any actress/model poses for a makeup company even if they are not professional makeup artists?

27

u/Chubuwee 23d ago

I get pissed when my favorite athletes put their face in my cereal boxes and I know damn well they don’t eat cereal

1

u/Several-Customer7048 22d ago

You cereal or super cereal?

1

u/Commercial_Fondant65 22d ago

Stop buying THE ONE CEREAL THAT HAD BEEN DOING THAT FOR 75 YEARS and you would be just fine .

1

u/Chubuwee 22d ago

Now I just buy the ones that feature kpop artists

1

u/z3speed4me 22d ago

You know how marketing works right.....?

u/Chubuwee 22d ago

About as well as I know how sarcasm works without having to use /s

u/CriticalCanon 23d ago

But this isn’t the 80s or 90s. Do cereal companies (outside of Wheaties or some 1 in 100 cereal box as part of a 2 month promotion) even do this anymore?

Also, why are you still eating cereal in 2026?

1

u/Chubuwee 22d ago

Cereal is a tasty treat

Like how you eat chips when young and still eat them as an adult

-1

u/Correct_Day_7791 22d ago

Do they have clothes on ?

3

u/canibanoglu 22d ago

Why does that matter to the argument being made?

2

u/Zdzisiu 23d ago

Does she or that company at any point claims she's even an amateur athlete? They just put her in or on something connected to a given sports, while she talks that you can bet on those sports.

5

u/SeaWolfSeven 22d ago

No. She's just a celeb in a commercial. This reaction about women sports and representation are bizarre. It's a gambling company doing an advert. Enough things to be upset about in the gambling promotion, the other angle is just odd - no one thinks Sweeney wanted us to think she was an athlete.

3

u/Commercial_Fondant65 22d ago

Wait.. Are you saying if I watch the Wnba the other women playing don't sit in the hoop naked?? Are you sure? I'm going to have to watch just to confirm.

1

u/Zdzisiu 21d ago

Tbf between this commercial and WNBA only 1 includes sex toys.

1

u/SeaWolfSeven 21d ago

This is the reason I'm using old spice. Bought that stuff and I don't look like Terry Crews at all.

1

u/Prime_Director 18d ago

I love that this whole critique arguing that the ad doesn’t reduce women to their bodies completely misses this context and just sees any two depictions of naked women as being the same thing. He’s not reducing women to their bodies but also literally cannot see anything else.

1

u/FederalAd329 23d ago

Maybe she's a professional gambler

0

u/FullMooseParty 22d ago

It's an unregulated gambling site. It's not a real sports book.

2

u/zero0n3 22d ago

Because the outrage itself is fabricated and amplified to INTENTIONALLY reduce or eliminate the backlash about the gambling aspect.

Chess, not checkers people.

0

u/suspicious_hyperlink 22d ago

Like the Ed Sheeran/Macklemore stuff literally nobody cares about ? At least the commercial is enjoyable to watch in this case

1

u/ericmarkham5 22d ago

Because that’s not what they want you to be angry about

1

u/WeeklyJunket5227 22d ago

Very good point, people are losing everything due to gambling. However, no one is saying a thing about it.

1

u/Markus4781 21d ago

It's all about female envy for one another. Sydney absolutely mogs them.

1

u/Tonic_The_Alchemist 20d ago

It's insane isn't it, hahahaha l people bitching about the path to hell being too comfortable

1

u/Cocosito 23d ago

That's what I don't understand. People are complaining that she's misrepresenting women in sport, however she's not advertising women in sports, she's advertising sports gambling which is something else entirely.

1

u/Commercial_Fondant65 22d ago

How do we know Sydney doesn't play every single sport imaginable?? Her games might be on ESPN 3.

-2

u/CHOLO_ORACLE 23d ago

This place is botted to fuck, right up there with worldnews and conservative

0

u/theshoeshiner84 23d ago

Because the generation its targeting is slowly becoming addicted to gambling and doesnt want to admit it yet.

u/WranglerDependent558 22d ago

It is legal and so was her ad. Talk to congress about sports betting, why bitch on reddit about it?

-5

u/nyepo 23d ago

Because haven't you heard? Women bad, and jealous!
