00:02:29.000American gymnast Gracie Kramer says the ad is infuriating.
00:02:31.000Quote This ad is honestly infuriating.
00:02:33.000I've spent my entire life competing in a sport where female athletes have been over sexualized, reduced to our bodies, and forced to fight to actually be taken seriously for what we can actually do.
00:02:51.000People weren't watching the ad for the sports stats.
00:02:55.000Gracie Kramer says to see women's sports once again being marketed through the male gaze feels like a massive step back.
00:03:00.000It wasn't women's sports being marketed, it was just a sports betting app that was being marketed.
00:03:04.000We should not have to take our clothes off to convince men that women belong in sports.0.99
00:03:08.000Again, she was not making the case that she was trying to make the WNBA.1.00
00:03:12.000Or that we're only worth washing if we're showing enough skin.
00:03:14.000And if you still don't think that it's deep, I invite you to do your best to empathize with every female athlete who's had to compete while simultaneously being objectified on the court, disrespected on the field, and over sexualized in the media.
00:04:03.000And this is what balance of nature is for.
00:04:06.000A lot of people have questioned whether the make America healthy again movement is just a political moment that's going to go away.
00:04:12.000But I don't think that it is because again, people want to be healthier.
00:04:17.000Balance of nature has advocated for increased fruit and veggie consumption long before MAHA was like a national thing.
00:04:22.000Balance of nature supports the continued focus on empowering individuals to take responsibility for their own health.
00:04:27.000The MAHA movement's emphasis on prevention.
00:04:29.000Reflect a broader recognition that small, consistent choices contribute to long term wellness.

00:05:20.000Our friend Clay Travis had some thoughts.
00:05:23.000Women's athletics is in no way impacted by a pro sports gambling ad by Sidney Sweeney.
00:05:30.000But why in the world is it the case that.
00:05:34.000Anyone would even make that connection, especially when female athletes by and large are staying quiet about men competing in women's sports.0.52
00:05:45.000Don't you think that if you were going to talk about things that are attacking female athletics, you might say, hey, maybe the WNBA should be able to tell us what the W and WNBA stands for?1.00
00:05:57.000Maybe we should keep men out of women's locker rooms.
00:05:59.000Maybe we should keep boys out of girls' locker rooms.1.00
00:06:02.000Instead, these women are claiming that they're offended by Sidney Sweeney.1.00
00:06:06.000Again, he is totally right about all of this.
00:06:08.000I want to point something else out that's kind of funny.
00:06:10.000Okay, it just shows you how far we have moved in the American public discourse.
00:06:19.000This is a Paris Hilton Carl's Jr. commercial.
00:06:22.000I remember this ad because it came out right around the time my book Porn Generation came out, and my book was about the pornification of American society.
00:06:29.000I know I've been on the anti porn bandwagon for literally ever, for literally ever, and have been irritated by Female nudity being used to market sports actually for pretty much all my life.
00:06:41.000I was a long time subscriber to Sports Illustrated, and I'm one of the seven people who called up Sports Illustrated and said, Please don't send the swimsuit edition, which has nothing to do with sports.
00:06:49.000Please just give me an extra edition of, like, you know, the magazine about baseball and basketball.
00:06:53.000But here was the Paris Hilton ad from 2005 that launched a thousand think pieces.
00:07:28.000But the reason that you are seeing so many conservatives who are rushing to defend Sidney Sweeney is because here's how far the left has moved.
00:07:35.000So the left in 2005 was a defender of the Paris Hilton commercial because they said pornography was good.
00:08:16.000That's where we have moved as a society.1.00
00:08:17.000Just going to point out how crazy things got over the past 20 years.
00:08:21.000I mean, it was a more innocent time, 2005, when we had debates over whether those commercials were appropriate.
00:08:26.000Now the debate is over whether women exist like in humanity and whether there are, in fact, standards of beauty that are clearly applicable.
00:08:35.000So it says more about where we've moved as a society than it does about, say, Sydney Sweeney or about sports or anything like that.
00:08:42.000What an amazing video you just watched.
