This is an image of a woman playing soccer however she is not wearing a typical uniform scantily clad in only her underwear. This once again proves the objectification of women in sports exists. The woman is wearing as little as clothing as possible and is in the middle of playing an intense soccer game. Women are supposed to be sexy and play just as hard. I find this image interesting because the moments that caused the biggest stir were when women soccer players like Brandi Chastain (pictured) were in the midst of celebrating took off their jersey revealing their sports bra underneath. These acts of celebration drew attention both positive and negative, yet it is perfectly acceptable to create a photo shoot with a woman wearing even less than those women players were wearing. A sports manager who manages some women from the WNBA commented on such incident stating, "I bristle when people criticize women for flaunting their sexuality in sport, because men have done that forever. I thought it was uplifting."
