Umm yea.. I would say sexy athletes are very popular. Just look at what happened after the olympics.

Just the point I was going to make CJ. Yes David Beckham is a good footballer but I think the reason he has become such a worldwide phenomenom is sex appeal. Whether you like it or not sex is a key part of sports.

What can I say, we’re sexual creatures. I don’t think David Beckham’s very nice Calvin Klein ads were meant to glorify sport.

As a woman I don’t think I could ever appear in public in anything less than a fairly modest swimsuit. But I don’t begrudge any woman who chooses to pose in their birthday suit.

For me, the prettiest sport woman is Maria Sharapova, and Alison is not bad too. ^^

Some women interpret it as an exploitation of sex gender, but honestly speaking, as a male, kind of very attractive proposition (but somehow unethical) having gorgeous girls around, don’t ya think?

Might sounds like a pervert, but it’s a current fact of marketing campaign, let alone advertising industry.

As long as there are organized sporting activities and us humans are more or less influenced by our primitive drives to pro-create, sex will always sell…. :-P

Or else, why does American Football or Basketball have those sexy cheerleaders at all sporting events?

Thank goodness the BPL (Barclay’s Premier League) has not stooped to that low yet. However, I can’t say much about some female ESPN sportscasters who irritate the hell out of me every Saturday/Sunday before the big match…
