Sydney Sweeney's Novig Sports Ad Draws Criticism Over Nudity and Portrayal
Sydney Sweeney's recent advertisement for the sports trading app Novig, featuring her nude and covered only by sports equipment, has sparked widespread criticism online. Critics, including former athletes, argue the ad sexualizes women's sports and undermines efforts to highlight female athletes' talents. Sweeney, who faced similar backlash for a 2025 American Eagle campaign, responded indirectly by sharing images of sports stars in comparable photoshoots. The ad has generated debate about the portrayal of women in sports advertising.
