Wow! I've never been so interested in the KHL.


PC Police need to get a life, big deal they had a hot chick in a picture, if this kind of stuff or ice girls are sexist then I'm OK with being wrong.

Травма нижней части тела у нашей ведущей Юлии Ушаковой. #Спартак поместил нападающую в список травмированных.



This is not the first time we've experienced objectification of women but this one has caught the eyes and clearly made buzz.

Alvis, I know you've watched Russian made movies like myself. This is tame as hell.

Check out Julia Ushakova's Instagram.
She was using this as self-promotion just as much as the club was trying to get publicity out of it.

Time to loosen up and take the stick out of your butt dude.

This is how I see it.

The offensive thing to me is how in situations like this people wanting to get all offended act like the girl is some unwitting victim with no agency of her own.

She obviously agreed to pose for that shot. So she thinks its fine. Just like models think its fine to be photographed with a similar amount of covering on a regular basis.
Save your outrage for situations where it's really warranted.

Just went to try and update my favorite team to Julia Ushakova and noticed there's a spot for me to add my ICQ and MSN Messenger info. Not sure if EK is just behind the times or some kind of weird hipster.
