Who were their target audience? I couldn't believe that these ad's would appeal to my generation of women. These messages are the antithesis of everything that team sports means to me as well as individual performance. I tell my girls to celebrate being sweaty, having a bright red face, having lanky,wild hair when they are out playing soccer,netball or the like. We girls are meant to play hard, to laugh hard and to enjoy every minute of a fast and furious game together. Who has time to check if our look is right or perfect or to look around to see who is looking at us. We don't want to "appear" while boys around us are in full blown action. I want a body that i love, that can run and dance!! Pitting girls against each other is truly soul-destroying and I work so hard to show girls how powerful and connected we are when we support and love each other.
