Sidney Sweeney’s History of Public Controversy

Swinney’s appearance at the World Series is not the first time she has found herself at the center of public debate.

In July, she fronted the American Eagle Jeans campaign, which caused backlash over its “good genes” slogan.

“Genes are passed from parents to children, often determining traits such as hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue,” Sweeney said in the ad.

Critics claimed that the ad used language associated with eugenics and racial superiority, and Columbia University lecturer Sayantani Das Gupta described it as “really infused with eugenic messages.”

He pointed out that puns cannot be separated from the history of narratives of racial and genetic superiority.

Others dismissed the controversy as an overreaction.
