Paige Spiranac has criticized footballers Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham as she defended ‘taking sexy photos to make money’.
The professional golfer used the images of Ronaldo and Beckham as examples to show that male sports stars also benefit from using their provocative images.
Spiranac shared her views in a video titled “I Said What I Said” that she shared on Twitter.
In the video, she defends female athletes like Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka for posing for publications like Sports Illustrated and outlines how men do the same.
The plea came after Spiranac encountered people who told her she was “damaging the image of women.”
“There has been a lot of discussion around female athletes and showing off their bodies,” she said. People are saying ‘stop sexualizing yourself, you’re belittling women, no one will take you seriously’.
“I thought it was a stinking pile of garbage. According to Forbes, the top 4 highest paid female athletes are Naomi Osaka, Serena Williams, Venus Williams and Simone Biles.”
“These women have a lot in common, first of all, they are both great athletes, two of them are considered the greatest of all time.”
“They had business ventures outside of sports and they all ended up doing swimsuit shoots for Sports Illustrated. Women really can do it all.”
“I know what you’re thinking, ‘Paige, a man would never flaunt his body to attract attention or over-sexualize himself, or do it because money’. Are you sure about that?
Then, she showed images of Ronaldo, Beckham and some other famous athletes topless as proof that men don’t show off their bodies to make money like women do. female.
