Female athletes are speaking out against a recent advertising campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney. The campaign, for a US sports-prediction market, shows Sweeney posing with sports equipment while nude or minimally clad. This has sparked anger and incredulity among female athletes, who believe it is damaging for young girls and women in sports.

The campaign includes photos and videos of Sweeney with various sports equipment, including American footballs and a tennis racket. One image shows her lying naked on a basketball. An ad posted on Instagram reels has gained significant attention, with 37 million views in just four days.

Further details on the controversy and reactions from female athletes are available from the source, including comments from Australian surfer Felicity Palmateer, who expressed her disappointment and disbelief at the campaign.
