Over sexualized footage of female Olympic athletes angers NBC viewers
NBC has released a controversial video called Bodies in Motion, featuring scantily clad female athletes ‘spiking a volleyball, jumping off the starting block, and everything in-between,’ as described by the TV network.
However the slow motion video, edited over what has been called ‘soft core porn music’, has sparked outrage from viewers who say the footage both objectifies and sexualizes world-class female athletes.
Featuring close-up shots of the female Olympians breasts and bikini-wearing behinds, along with several clips of beach volleyball players encouragingly tapping each other on the rear, the video has been described as ‘creepy, porno and shameful.’
