ESPN BODY ISSUE

I CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO ON ESPN.COM AND I FOUND IT REALLY INTERESTING. USUALLY THERE IS NEGATIVE CONOTATION TO EXPOSING YOURSELF IN THE MIEDIA I.E. PLAYBOY,HUSTLER ,PLAY GIRL ECT. BUT I FIND THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT SO MUCH AS WOMEN ATHLETES BEING BEING NAKED BUT ADMIRING THE BODIES OF ATHLETES BOTH MALE AND FEMALE. I FEEL LIKE IN SO MANY ADS WOMEN ARE PROTRAYED AS SEX OBJECTS. PEOPLE DONT LOOK AT MUSCLE DEFINITION BUT CHECK TO SEE IF THEY HAVE AN ASS OR BIG BREASTS. PART OF MY PANAL POSITION PAPER IS TO OPPOSE FEMALE ATHLETES BEING NUDE IN THE MEDIA BUT I THINK THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF NEW TIMES ARISING.TIMES ARE CHANGING. YES SEX IS BECOMING A BIG PART OF OUR MEDIA BUT ITS GOOD TO SEE ARTICLES LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT PUTS MEN AND WOMEN ON AN EQUAL PLATFORM. A PLATFORM THAT WE AS FANS CAN ADMIRE.I REALLYT ENJOYED THIS VIDEO CLIP AND ESPN ISSUE BECAUES IT DOESNT SHOW THESE ATHLETES AS SEXUAL OBJECTS BUT RATHER AS GREAT EXAMPLES OF MUSCLE DEFINITION AND ATHLETICISM.
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HEAR WHAT YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THIS ARTICLE.
