Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swim star and outspoken defender of women\u2019s sports, called out Adidas Thursday for accentuating “the bulge” of a biologically male model in an ad for a woman\u2019s swimsuit<\/a> as part of the company\u2019s pride collection.<\/p>\n

Adidas collaborated<\/u><\/a> with South African designer Rich Mnisi to release the “Let Love Be Your Legacy” collection and campaign. The company said it attempts to “encourage allyship and freedom of expression without bias, in all spaces of sport and culture” with its campaign with Mnisi. One of the models seen on the Adidas website in a woman\u2019s bathing suit has ignited fierce backlash online, with lawmakers and other prominent figures weighing in on the issue.<\/p>\n

RILEY GAINES SAID SHE CONFRONTED REP. KATIE PORTER OVER LIKES AND CLICKS REMARK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“What the image says to me\u00a0is that women don\u2019t matter, is that we\u2019re not good enough to model\u00a0even our own swimsuits made specifically for women,” Gaines told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum on “The Story.”<\/p>\n

Gaines said she finds it “ironic” that the brand chose to release specific images that deliberately emphasize the model’s male genitalia in a women’s swimsuit advertisement.<\/p>\n

“Something I just find so ironic\u2026[is] the poses\u00a0that this man is striking.\u00a0The angles of which they took\u00a0these photos.\u00a0It was strategic.\u00a0It\u2019s certain as if they took\u00a0these photos to highlight the bulge in\u00a0this man\u2019s swimsuit,”\u00a0Gaines said.<\/p>\n

RILEY GAINES SAYS LIBERALS ARE SUPPORTING HER ACTIVISM TO PROTECT WOMEN’S SPORTS: \u2018SICK OF THEIR OWN PARTY\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“They do it strategically, which is really perverse.\u00a0It\u2019s nasty.\u00a0It\u2019s disgusting.\u00a0It\u2019s abysmal,”\u00a0she added.<\/p>\n

“Notice how they\u00a0don\u2019t have women who take the\u00a0identity of a male advertising\u00a0men\u2019s clothes.\u00a0We\u2019re only seeing this go one\u00a0way.\u00a0Whether that be with Tampax,\u00a0whether it\u2019s with Nike, of course, Bud Light \u2013 all of these companies we\u2019re\u00a0seeing highlight someone of the\u00a0opposite sex,” Gained continued.<\/p>\n

In an Adidas press release, Mnisi said he created the collection to “express to the world how LGBTQ+ allyship can create a legacy of love.<\/p>\n

“Unifying these themes together through my own visual language and Adidas\u2019 iconic performance and lifestyle pieces is a powerful combination, making the collection a symbol for self-acceptance and LGBTQ+ advocacy. My hope is this range inspires LGBTQ+ allies to speak up more for the queer people they love and not let them fight for acceptance alone,” Mnisi\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., slammed the campaign on Twitter Wednesday, writing, “I’m old enough to remember when women actually modeled women’s bathing suits, not men.”<\/p>\n
