The Controversial Title
Matt Ufford blogs were known for objectifying women in sports and for the blogger, Allison was the new target. He used to write about athletes on his blogs but more in a demeaning way then uplifting their spirit. He not only shared the photo but the titled it ‘Pole Vaulting is Sexy, Barely Legal.’ Allison was just 17 when he shared this photo and dragged an innocent teenager’s name on the dark side of the internet.
Viral Photo
The photo took the internet by storm and drew every eye on the upcoming pole vaulter. What followed afterward was the series of events she wouldn’t have imagined to happen. The blog not only commented on her physical attractiveness but was disturbing to a great extent. And not only the blogger took a troll but the responses from the audience were too charged with sexual comments and that too, for a girl that could be the pride of the country in pole vaulting representing the country internationally.
Photographer’s Exasperation
Soon the photo and the blog went viral as wildfire and the news came in front of the photographer that had actually taken the photo. He was furious and upset about the salacious usage of the photo. He immediately went forward and raised his voice about the same and threatened to take action against the blogger if needed.
Stubbornness
Even after getting numerous warnings and threats to sue the blogger for malicious usage of his photo, he didn’t remove the blog or the photo from his websites. Despite every attempt of the photographer to protect her from the dirt, more and more people started commenting on the post in an offensive way with each passing day. Would the photographer protect her from dirt without even letting her know?
Damage
No matter how much he tried but the damage was couldn’t be undone now. The photo had been shared all over the internet people all over the world didn’t shy away and posted several derogatory comments. Allison, on the other hand, was least aware of such a scandal that had happened. Unwillingly she had become the center of attraction among the wrong fanbase.
In Wrong Hands
The matter even got worse when other indecent websites started sharing her other photos too on their futile websites and the malevolent comments started to flow insanely. Men were fawning over the athlete and she had absolutely no idea what she was being targeted for. Would she be able to cope with the situation or else would just let it go?
