The following ad has Abby Wambach making a predatory assessment of another female soccer player. The sexual overtones are hard to ignore, with the mannish Wambach leering at the exhausted, more attractive competitor:
Another commercial on Gatorade’s site suggests that girls must be kept “in the game” (playing sports) so that they don’t become whores by age 14.

Way to go, Gatorade!
