Female Athletes Push Back Against Sydney Sweeney Sports-Betting Ad

A group of female athletes has spoken out against a sports-betting advertisement featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, according to a report by Al Jazeera.

The athletes have been sharing photographs and messages online under the theme of "what women in sport look like," in what the report describes as a direct response to the campaign.

Al Jazeera reported that the athletes object to the advertisement, though the network's report did not specify the exact nature of the objections or provide further detail on the campaign's content or the company behind it.

The report characterized the response as part of a broader pushback by women in sport against the advertisement's portrayal of female athletes.

Al Jazeera's report was presented as a video item, and did not include additional statements from Sweeney, the advertisers, or named athletes.
