As the saying goes, ‘Sex Sells.’
Swiss Super League club Servette FC certainly had that in mind when they posted a screenshot from Pornhub on their official Twitter account recently in an effort to boost tickets sales just ahead of Sunday’s clash with Young Boys Berne.
It may have worked, but it also came with criticism and claims of sexism as well.
Via The Sun:
“We thought it better if we put it on social media ourselves. We wanted to make people laugh,” the club said.
“It’s amusing that Servette have appeared on such a well-known website as Pornhub. It makes no difference to us whether the person in the foreground is a man or a woman.
“Instead of taking offence at our logo appearing on this platform [Pornhub] we have chosen to have a laugh about it.”
The club has since deleted the controversial tweet amid the backslash from angry fans.”
