Charley Hull responds to criticism of Sydney Sweeney
Charley Hull isn’t buying the internet controversy surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s new Novig sports betting commercial. In an exclusive interview, the LPGA standout went straight at the critics who argue the advertisement harms female athletes or regresses women’s sports. Hull defended Sweeney’s commercial appeal and business savvy, dismissing the online commentary as noise created over standard marketing. Watch the full clip as the golf star sets the record straight on brand promotion, sex appeal in advertising, and why the outrage crowd is making a “big hoo-hah out of absolutely nothing.”
What a birthday week Lindsey Vonn is having.
Last weekend, she got the birthday festivities started out in Europe with a bikini beach day, as one does when they turn 42. On Tuesday, she was launching a new collection for her clothing line.
Hey, look, those European vacations aren’t going to pay for themselves. Plus, we know that nothing is slowing the Olympic champion, New York Times best-selling author, founder of her own foundation, entrepreneur, investor and dog mom down.

That’s all from her Instagram bio and there’s no mention of being a model for her own clothing brand in there. And I guess the clothing brand would fall under the entrepreneur umbrella?
I think OutKick’s Joe Kinsey did a good job of giving Vonn her flowers in his coverage of her bikini beach day to kick off her birthday weekend. As he noted, “She could start a podcast, sit on her ass all day yapping about random topics while crushing red wine.”
Destroying her leg on the slopes earlier this year would have been the perfect excuse for getting into all that. But she has more to give. Like tiny coats and white bodysuits Jake Browning’s wife, Stephanie, would be proud of.

This collection, which evidently can keep you warm without a top on, if that’s in fact what the message is behind the second picture in the carousel, is about vibes. As if you needed me to tell you that after scrolling through all the pictures.
That’s plain to see, as is the fact that Lindsey Vonn isn’t your average champion, author, foundation founder, entrepreneur, investor and dog mom.

Yes, she’s another year older, but I highly doubt she’s taking the foot off the gas pedal and stepping into a podcast studio full-time. Not with a profound birthday message like the one she shared:
“Age is a funny thing… my perspective of life at 30 was that (especially as an athlete) I was over the hill, but now that I’m in my 40’s I feel the knowledge of life that I have amassed makes me feel somehow much younger and more confident in who I am,” she wrote.

“Despite my crash and all of the things that have happened to me, the good, the bad the ugly… I’m always thankful to be in this life. Thankful for all the love and support I’ve received. 🙏🏻❤️ cheers to another one!”
