talk about being a sell out, imagine all the little girls that look up to her. I guess money is more important then character.
Its a SWIMSUIT for Christ's sake! Its not like she spread it for Penthouse with her vajayjay hanging out. She is showing that a racecar driver is as much an athlete as anyone else, and showing how physically fit she is. Relax...
I agree seems all "big stars" want to look like prostitudes.....cheap ones at that
There is alot more shown in backyard swimming pools than this video. Why cant a woman just be sexy. Gotta love haters.
I am sure there are more little girls that look up to and would rather be models then a indy car driver... My assumption is that you are a female and are overweight and ugly and jealous!! Get over like the other comment why can't a woman want to look sexy if you got the looks to do it why not??
I wouldn't worry. How many little girls do you know who read Sports Illustrated, let alone the Swimsuit Issue?
she is no sell out. she is a beautiful women and proud of it.And i'm proud of her and the intrest she has brought to the sport wy to go danica. And by the way is she single.
Your just jealous
Totally , totally agree, takes away from her legitimate accomplishments. Not a roll model.
All you haters of beautiful people give it a rest. If I was as good looking a man as she is a good looking woman I'd work it for every buck especially in this economy. She has to start working other angles because when her bosses finally wake up they'll see she sucks as a race car driver. Her pretty face and the popularity it brings is the only reason she still has a job. And finally. If you are going to comment please use google to search them big words like prostitute so you spell it right, Don.
what an ass you are,,,all the little girls who look up to her as tops in her field can also say that you can do anything,and not just "get by" on looks alone.
but,,,that is how shallow YOU are.
you only look at the surface,
marketing a BRAND is what she's doing,brand Danica is what she has to sell.
posters,replica cars,action figures,all go to her bottom line.
use your brain Kris,
this isn't a sell out,it's just sales !
Dr j how many little girls do you know who follow indy car racing
Character?
It's a swim suit.
I guess if you can't win on the racing circuit you sell your body out.
Oh but she did win on the track. What have you done?
Yeah this will get her fellow drivers to take her more seriously. What an idiot!
The girl's beautiful and in this day and age, if you've got it and you've got the nerve to flaunt it in less than a yard of material, you're a fool not to go for it. It gets attention, and I'm sure that's exactly what it was meant to accomplish. Take it for what it is and nothing more and you won't be offended then.
She wanted so bad to be taken seriously. Well this is NOT the way to go. She needs to just walk away from racing all together.
Man what a sweetie she is. And the STUPID ASS comment by geigergl about selling your body out EAT YOU HEART OUT she is beautiful and YOUR AN IDIOT !
I don't see anything wrong with this. Now, some comments:
First, to #1.. You're an idiot.
#2- I don't know what to say about your comment only to say "you're also a "f"ing idiot.
#3- This is a magazine photo shot, not a porno.
#4- We're on the same page, brother..
#5 and #6 - You both have to be females, are you jealous?
