Statement summary

Gracie Kramer told NBC News the Novig ad reinforces the sexualization of women’s sports rather than dismantling it.

“When sexualization is used as a way to get men interested in women’s sports, it reinforces the exact narrative we’ve been trying to dismantle. This isn’t celebrity drama to me. It’s about the culture we’re creating for the next generation of girls in sports and making sure they grow up believing their talent is enough to deserve attention and respect.”

Why we used this label
