Fair enough, as a reader I should have addressed my comment to NSMB as a whole
not you as a writer. I apologize for my conclusion jumping. Also, I fully
agree with your thesis. Adding "sex sells" to my comment was me being overly
jaded and callus. I do stand by the position that self promotion is a
necessary (evil?) part of being a public figure (athlete or otherwise).
Sexualization of that self promotion is I think your main point, correct? In
that, getting 500+ likes on your Instagram post isn't necessarily the negative
part, it's what content you present to get those likes. BTW thanks for the
thought provoking material.
