Does anyone else find this annoying?

I just saw an AD about tires on Youtube and it was some weird thing where the car was driving on ice and it pans to a bunch of hockey players talking to their coach about it and then one of them rips off of their helmet to make a statement that I can't remember.

The "player" that took off their helmet was a woman.

I'm not sexist in any way shape or form but looking at it from a realistic standpoint and a sports in general standpoint...that doesn't happen. I mean for one she was the only woman there so the already obvious publicity stund because even more obvious but then there's the fact that men and women are separated in sports for a reason.

So a woman randomly appearing as part of a team of big burly male hockey players even if it's just an ad irks me becuase of how our society is at the point where people have to kiss the a**es of whiny people who will screech and point out something like "OMG DID YOU SEE THIS NEW AD!? NO WOMEN?!!?! SEXIST!!!"

Even though if you took 5 freaking seconds to stop being triggered and think about it then you'd know that the only way a girl is ever stuck on a team with guys is back in elementary or high school, and that's usually because schools don't have enough players for one specific gender so they just lump everyone together.

Professional sports? Yeah no. Especially not hockey.

Ugh it's just...why?! And it's even worse when people do get triggered over something stupid and the company who created the ad feels the need to APOLOGIZE!

    I haven't seen the ad you're talking about, but I do not find it annoying that a tire ad showed a woman as a member of a hockey team.

    The important thing about ads isn't that they're good - it's that you remember them. And you remembered it, didn't you?
