Playboy Corrupts the Sports World Yet Again!

Ana Paula Oliveira (2) 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?

Naturalism, and freedom of choice again being oppressed globally

This is just another example of ow oppressed we are worldwide by fundamentalist propaganda people who disagree with a woman's personal decision, to do what she believes is acceptable for her own personal career, and sense of self, are not freiends of freedom. also, why is it so unacceptable for people to be nude publicly our bodies exist under our clothes, and only some people believe "pornography" is immoral, and practically nowhere is it illegal, although it is regulated, so why should organizations be allowed to take any action over such a thing? it's crazy - people should butt out of people's lives, grow up and accept natural things (like the human body, pornography, a worldwide market for pornography, masturbation, etc.), that society is pummelling propaganda to try and convince us are "wrong" or "unnacceptable." This demonization of Ana Paula Oliveira is just another example of how the corporate world, and the system of the global economy do not serve to educate, serve, help, or better our world in any way, but instead are attempts to herd us like lambs to the sluaghter. tiochfaidh ar la
