Playboy Corrupts the Sports World Yet Again!Authored by Scott Goldberg on June 25, 2007 - 4:56pm.
Attempting to ruffle the feathers of feminists for the second time in the last month (the first coming with US Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard’s cover issue), Playboy has said Brazilian soccer lineswoman Ana Paula Oliveira, a 29-year-old and women’s rights activist, will don its July cover. “If she took that decision, it's because she must have other career thoughts,” said Edson Rezende, president of the confederation's refereeing commission, in Lance, a sports daily. The deal will reportedly net Oliveira $250,000, and it was her mother who encouraged her to accept Playboy’s proposal. Aline Lambert, a fellow linesman, said that Oliveira’s decision to pose nude “is incompatible with the profession.” Oliveira said in a chat on the website for Futebol no Interior (Football in the Outback) that she still hopes to be a referee in future World Cup tournaments. Who’s stopping her? Scott Goldberg |
