The Gluv ad for the New port Flex Jacket has a model with her hair down ! Oh NOOOOO that's gotta be considered sexual in nature by all of the Shite Musulims who play softball. Lets ask tjbd Must hair be tied back? must there be a bow (or force further sexual comments)?????

All kidding aside, I didn't find the ad offensive but this red carpet "Women in Sports" event in Australia I do find nude models with body paint offensive to Female athletes, as did others

Ok... So we've moved on to immature comments and added remarks towards Muslim women now. Let's not forget the original issue was about under aged young ladies.

The Aussie awards are for GROWN UPS which have the right to do as they please.

I guess you all would be thankful if the PGF board decided on letting the nude body paint models at the opening ceremonies next July... Wouldn't that be great! You think they would get negative press?!?!?

TBJ-- the posters are using sarcasm and ridiculous post to show how dumb your arguement was, but obviously you are even to dense to realize that :lol:

My DD said the following about the original ad:

1) Any ad with a shirtline showing in the pants is by definition not sexy

2) She thinks it is impossible to look sexy in a softball uniform, that the gluv pants just make the players look less male looking

3) Any sicko who looks at that photo and thinks its sexul is the biggest perve of all and should seek professional help.

I for one am dissapointed that Uno and The Gluv "caved" to the wishes of two people

Dense... Aren't you the famous "educated" NorthEasterner?

Couple of things cause as usual you fail to read the entire post:

1) This isn't my arguement. This wasn't my forum as I did t begin the tread. I agree with the initial claim which was questioning the suggestive pose not seen appropriate for a teen softballer. I stand by that a million times over.
2) The concern wasn't about showing mid-riff, but instead a young girl in a pose with a tag line which could be taken many ways. So you and you DD obviously have that wrong. Add the fact I'm a father/protector of my DD. You dont expect your DD to understand but at some point she will when she has a DD. I hope anyways!
3) I cleary understanding sarcasm and friendly banter. The line is drawn in the sand when referring to young ladies. I will never change my stance. There are many Mothers and Fathers on these treads and I ask would they let their DD's take that pic. Vast majority would not let the DD I suspect. JR ask your grown adult educated DD if she would be so kind to take that pic and then posted for all to see. I bet she hesitates as she should bright young lady you've raised to respect herself. Right?

Last, I'm not a crusader but I ask why is it ok? Isnt that the original question? When did it become ok to take a pic of a teen in a pose for advertising? Why am I referred to as a person needing to seek help when asking a question? Uno and The Gluv leadership got it right... I applaud them.

Suggestive pose? Looks like she was in proper fielding position. I guess the softball world has it wrong :? .

Was not referring to "mid-riff" but to the tucked in shirt line. It is not a suggestive pose but an athletic stance. She would not want to be photographed wearing that "because there are enough photos of her in softball pants". Protecting your dd??? Better hide the sears catalogue
