latest<\/em> controversial ad campaign<\/a> has infuriated female athletes all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\u201cI wasn\u2019t going to share this as I didn\u2019t want to give this any more attention. But I can\u2019t keep my mouth shut,\u201d Olympic swimmer Ariarne Titmus wrote on her Instagram Story, according to CNN.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t describe how infuriated I feel when I watch this,\u201d Titmus continued, adding:<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only is this a kick in the face to every woman who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft, but every woman who enjoys sports for what it really is \u2014 teamwork, friendship, dedication, excellence, unity \u2026 the list goes on.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t know what Sydney thinks sport looks like, but THIS is what sport looks like,\u201d swimmer Lani Pallister wrote on her own page.<\/p>\n
You get the point. In general, athletes tend to not be fans of legalized sports betting. And it seems they\u2019re really<\/em> not fans of using nudity to advertise betting apps.<\/p>\nSydney is no stranger to controversy, but this is some of the most widespread criticism she\u2019s faced in her career.<\/p>\n
Defenders have noted that her partnership with Novig is no mere endorsement deal, and she\u2019s actually a stakeholder in the company.<\/p>\n
So the situation might be more empowering than her critics have considered. Either way, Sydney stands to get very rich from the deal, so she might not be too worried about what her haters have to say.<\/p>\n
