http://m.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Jou...d-Armato.aspx? No wonder girls would rather be a footballer's WAG (wife) than an actual footballer in her own right. Colleen Rooney's sports endorsements dwarf anything actual women footballers get. Models Gisele and Karlie Kloss have athletic endorsements. And we get mad when female sports stars take kickbacks / dope/ throw matches for cash? Last edited by alex_front2; 24-02-2016 at 09:00 PM. |

It's a darn shame really.
Although here most of the more recognizable US Women's Football (Soccer) team members have deals with Nike and are featured in their soccer ads too. (because they can actually play the game unlike the men's team)

Yeah with the USWNT, I've never seen such positive role models for young girls and it kind of annoys me we don't really have that here in the UK. The US team winning the world cup last year was just incredible and I'd love for more girls to have goals to be like the US women team, rather than like, idk, Rooneys wife.

Yeah, they're idolized by girls in the soccer community. I've seen a couple skin care ads here featuring Alex Morgan and Christen Press for Nuetrogena during the world cup. Abby's been featured in a Mini Cooper ad as well about stereotypes (since she's openly gay) but she recently retired from soccer all together, but it looks like she'll become a pundit however. Maybe for the Men's game s
