Agreed Adam, although I would argue that the rational presumption is that,
to whatever degree the German Women’s leotard reduced the sexual allure of
the Olympics, it is not one of the reasons for the large ratings decline.
The burden of proof is on those who claim it is.
Proof may be too strong a
While we're still in a position where not even all events have equal
numbers of competitors of both sexes, I think there's still plenty for the
Olympics to do. "Beach" sports undoubtedly play on the sexualisation of
competitors, and has been used as a selling point the whole way through,

I have never said the desexualizatioon should not take place. I think it

Why Sex Sells… More Than Ever
Magazine ads featuring sex are on the rise, with the exception of two
not-too-sexy industries.

No, it is not that simple. Nobody doubted that ratings would be down this
year, just that the reason would be related to less sexualization of women
athletes. You still have not pro even a little bit if evidence to support

Sex sells. It's that simple.

I am very skeptical of the claim that less sexualizing of female athletes
will reduce ratings. If guys want to see images of hot women in bikinis (or
