In sports, many female athletes have become sex symbols.[13][14] Young males often prioritise female athlete's physiques over their performance.[15] Women are more likely to show more skin than men. [16] With Sports Illustrated being a main competition for ESPN, ESPN launched The Body Issue in 2009. The Body Issue caused controversies regarding perceived sexual objectification.[17] Sex appeal of female athletes is often used to promote their sport. During a Dan Patrick interview, Hope Solo expressed her concern over marketing of female athletes after she did The Body Issue.[18]
