What are your thoughts on the growing athlete protests about Sydney Sweeney's near-nude photo ad?

I looked for a video ad on YouTube and found one. I don't really see nudity. Sydney Sweeney may not look like an athlete, but she doesn't look that unathletic. Look at tennis players; they don't all look like athletes, nor do throwers in field events. So, while Amy's argument is fair, I don't agree with what an "athlete looks like." Sydney certainly appears more athletic than, say a shot putter or hammer thrower, if we are using Amy's version. But not as athletic as a ripped pole vaulter. In fact, Amy does not look as ripped as a pole vaulter. Not sure I agree with her position.

Like CK says, what would this mean if Amy Hunt has an "athlete's body" for a thrower, who is very different in shape? Or the tall skinny basketball players
