So let me get this straight. On the new Adidas commercial the boys get amazing athletes like David Beckham, Lionel Messi and Derrick Rose while the girls get... Katy Perry?

Any other girls to represent the feminist side of athletics? Jessica Ennis? Hope Solo? Or my personal favorite, Amy Wambach?

No, just Katy Perry?

WTF Adidas!?

Not that I have an issue with Katie Perry (she's not my favorite artist, but whatever) but couldn't you throw us a freakin' bone here? What impression is that supposed to give us? That's crap!

    Adidas aren't the brand or draw they once were...have you seen their Olympics commercial for the London games? It totally embraces the modern brit culture of making heroes out of the irrelevant and the untalented.

    But Lionel Messi??? Wow..he is AWESOME.



    P.s I shall follow this thread to see how long it takes for some moron to make it into a '' why arent' women allowed to be naked in their pictures on mfp" tirade

    If they are going to dig down for one ad campaign and sponsor amazing men couldn't they pick just one girl who actually is in sports?

    P.S. MFP doesn't like my threads. They never go far.
