Swedish Female Soccer Player Swaps Jersey With Fan, “News” Report Pretends It’s Scandalous

Josefine Öqvist is a soccer player from Sweden. She is also an attractive woman, in that stereotypically Swedish, extremely blonde way. And judging by what she did after one of Sweden’s preliminary Women’s World Cup matches (her squad’s doing quite well, going undefeated in group play), she’s friendly with the fans, too.

Following one of Sweden’s victories, a man in the crowd (apparently a supporter of Germany) wanted to engage in a soccer tradition with Öqvist: the jersey swap. Of course, such exchanges usually happen between players, but hey, Öqvist had just won, she was in a good mood, and she obliged the fan’s request.

Now, this exchange necessitated an attractive woman removing her shirt (which surely had nothing to do with the fan’s desire to make the swap), but Öqvist was in a sports bra. This was nothing scandalous. There’s a pretty famous picture of a female soccer player in a sports bra, if you’ll remember, and that didn’t corrupt anyone. However, one German “news report” decided to act like it actually was risqué. And the results were…pretty funny, actually.

If anyone wants to fill us in with a translated version of what the “anchor” said there, go right ahead, but the faux-Think of the children!!!!! angle is pretty clear either way.

Of course, we know that won’t totally satisfy you, however. You just have to see it without the black censor bar, even though you know already there was nothing to censor (the strap of the bra is even visible in the above video). Here is the uncensored version of an event that needed no censoring in the first place (but made us think Öqvist is pretty awesome for being such a good sport with the crowd). You’re welcome.
