It’s not at all a problem unless you’re a puritanical nut

I dunno man, maybe we’ve gone too far when a woman is holding footballs to cover up her crotch and nude breasts saying “you can bet on these sports” suggesting something about her body. 

I don’t think you have to be a “puritanical nut” to not want that shoved down the throats of your children every commercial break when you’re just trying to enjoy a baseball game.

Not to mention how it teaches them to objectify women. This kind of objectification is not only a horrid example of how to teach children to think of women's worth in society, it is also grossly, abhorrently offensive to female fans, of which there are plenty.

All of these men defending this ad, do they give a shit about how their wives, mothers, sisters feel about it? Or how their wives feel about how she wants to raise her sons to respect women, and her daughters to respect themselves?

Apparently is ok to objectify women if you’re making tons of money off sports betting.
