Female athletes face more scrutiny than their male counterparts as far as off-the-field activities are concerned. Golfer-turned-influencer Paige Spiranac pointed out the hypocrisy of the fans and media alike in that regard and called out the double standards.

Spiranac used the example of various male athletes showing off their bodies to call out critics who say women athletes over-sexualize themselves.

Calling out the hypocrisy

Paige Spiranac is not happy with people criticizing women athletes for using their bodies as part of their brand. She called out the hypocrisy of such people and their arguments.

“There has been a ton of discussion around female athletes and showing off their bodies,” she said. “People are saying, ‘Stop over-sexualizing yourself. You’re taking women back. No one is going to take you seriously,’ and I think that is a big stinkin’ pile of s*it,” she said in a video shared on her Twitter profile.

She talked about how tennis greats Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, Venus Williams, and gymnast Simone Biles are not only good at their sport, but they have also posed for ‘Sports Illustrated’. And these are the top four highest-paid female athletes in the world, according to Forbes.

“Oh, I know what you’re thinking, ‘Paige, a man would never ever show off his body for attention or over-sexualize himself or do it for a monetary gain. Hmm, are you sure about that?” Spiranac continued.

She then used the example of numerous male athletes who have posed shirtless for various brands and magazines. This includes NFL legend Tom Brady, soccer legends, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, and many others.

Who is Paige Spiranac?

Paige Spiranac is a former professional golfer who has turned to YouTube to become an influencer. 3.7 million people follow her on Instagram while her YouTube channel has over three hundred thousand subscribers. ‘Maxim’ magazine named Spiranac as the ‘sexiest woman of 2022’.

Spiranac was born in Colorado in 1993 to a NCAA football champion father and a ballet dancer mother. So she got the sports and performance genes from both of them. She studied at the University of Arizona, where she played golf for the college team. Paige then transferred to San Diego State University and went on to win the West Conference Championship for the first time in their history. That was 2015.

She played golf professionally for a bit, but retired to focus on modeling and social media content creation. And she has done very well for herself in that field.
