American Eagle responds to criticism of Sydney Sweeney jeans campaign
American Eagle has defended Sydney Sweeney amid online criticism of the star's advertising campaign with the company. The retailer revealed a series of adverts with the Euphoria actress with the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' last week but the pun was met with a fierce backlash on social media as the phrase "great genes" has a historical association with eugenicists - who claim that humanity can be improved genetically through selective breeding. American Eagle wrote in a Instagram post on Friday (01.08.25): "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. "We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone." Sydney explained how she was "freaking out" when she was approached to star in the campaign - which saw the company's stock surge by 10 per cent - as she has long been a fan of American Eagle's jeans. The 27-year-old star told People: "I was freaking out because I was like, 'This is perfect', and I was so excited. "When they were like, 'We want it to be a denim campaign', I was through the roof. I was like, 'This is it. This is Syd. I will be able to bring this to life. You have no idea.'" Sydney declared that she feels "confident and comfortable" in the brand's denim. The Echo Valley star said in a statement: "There is something so effortless about American Eagle - it's the perfect balance of being put-together but still feeling like yourself. "Their commitment to creating pieces that make you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin is something that resonates with me. "It's rare to find a brand that grows with you, the way American Eagle has for generations. They have literally been there with me through every version of myself." American Eagle's chief marketing officer Craig Brommers said that signing up Sweeney was hugely significant for the company because the actress is the "It girl of the moment". He told WWD: "I think this is potentially one of the biggest gets in American Eagle history. "Sydney Sweeney is the It girl of the moment, and she is helping us create the It jeans campaign of the season. Sydney really encapsulates American Eagle. "She is the girl who can play the red carpet but she's also the girl next door, and that duality really defines Gen Z and Millennials."

English Premier League transfer news: Newcastle reject Liverpool offer for Alexander Isak
Liverpool have no imminent plans to make a second bid for Alexander Isak after having their £110m ($225m AUD) bid rejected, talkSPORT understands. The Reds made the huge offer for the Swedish striker on Friday morning, but it was turned down by Newcastle. And the nature of that rebuttal has meant the Reds have decided not to follow up with a second approach this transfer window. It is understood the club don't want to get dragged into a cycle of rejected bids. Liverpool now regard another bid as futile unless Newcastle change their stance and contact them. Personal terms over any potential deal are not expected to be an issue, as Isak wants the move to Anfield. The Magpies want to keep their star forward, or at least source a replacement before possibly agreeing to sell him. They have been pushing to bring in Benjamin Sesko, while Yoane Wissa is boycotting Brentford training as he eyes a transfer. Liverpool backed up their extreme interest with a monster bid for Isak, who is training away from his teammates too. The 25-year-old hasn't travelled on the Magpies' pre-season tour as he explores a potential move away from the club. He is currently training at his former club Real Sociedad in Spain and Newcastle are understood to be aware of the situation. Liverpool's opening offer came a week after Isak had admitted he wants to explore his options this summer. But unless Isak's side now start negotiations with the Reds again, it seems they won't be coming back in with a second bid. Making feelings known Liverpool's opening bid came after Newcastle fans made their feelings clear on Isak's situation. A banner was pictured hanging outside the club's training ground, reading: 'Isak is a pure rat.' Of course, this act won't reflect the entirety of the Toon fanbase, however, it shows that his reputation is now damaged to some. There is little sympathy from a part of the fanbase, but one person who does feel for him is teammate Anthony Gordon. Gordon had held talks with Liverpool over a potential move last summer, and it appeared to be close to completion. Newcastle fans made a banner calling Isak a “ratâ€� over his potential transfer to Liverpool. 😬 — The Anfield Buzz (@TheAnfieldBuzz) July 31, 2025 However, nothing ended up materialising and he went on to sign a new Newcastle contract in October. The England international has now opened up about that move and related it to what Isak is now going through. Gordon said in an interview with the Daily Mail: 'With PSR, I thought I was going to leave at some point in the window. It didn't happen. 'I had to get my head around that to begin with, and then to get my head around it again was hard. I'm a human being.' He added: 'I understand what Alex is going through. I feel for him. 'He will be going through a lot. The club is going through a lot. 'I hope everyone gets what they want in the end.'

Ginnivan takes on Adelaide Oval crowd, but Crows have the last laugh with stunning win
Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell bolted down from the box to the boundary to seek answers as to why 23 of the 28 goals were scored to the Cathedral end in his side's topsy-turvy, and at times bizarre, 14-point loss to Adelaide on Friday night. In a match punctuated by wild momentum swings, the Hawks burst spectacularly out of the blocks, were held to a total standstill in the second quarter, gained the upper hand in the third, and then were edged out down the stretch. Historians in years to come will assume a mid-winter gale was howling in from the south all evening, but the flags atop Adelaide Oval's heritage-listed scoreboard never budged. 'I actually ran down to the bench to see if there was any breeze at all,' Mitchell said. 'But no... no answers for why they were all kicked at one end. 'It's very rare that one team has the momentum for the whole game. 'They were a little bit cleaner and more clinical when it really mattered.' Will Day was the key figure early, racking up more first-quarter clearances than the Crows' entire shell-shocked team, piloting Hawthorn to a 5.3 to 0.1 ambush which hushed the 50,654-strong crowd into stunned silence. It was easily Adelaide's worst quarter of the season. They responded with perhaps their best. With Jordan Dawson stepping up in the engine room and Riley Thilthorpe getting hold of Tom Barrass, the Crows suddenly started scoring at will out of their back half, keeping the Hawks scoreless while marching to a shock but spectacular 16-point half-time lead. Adelaide's run of goals was eight unanswered before Hawthorn's interceptors James Sicily, Jack Scrimshaw and Josh Battle ran amok behind the footy in the third term to get the visitors back on top. The home side's backline, conversely, was suddenly frazzled, both with and without the footy. Ex-Crow Jack Gunston's back-to-back fourth-quarter goals to the River end handed the Hawks the lead, before Izak Rankine and Taylor Walker – who split Adelaide's last four majors – sealed it for the top-two bound Crows. Cheeky Hawks antagonist Jack Ginnivan responded to some feedback from the fans as he walked down the visitors' race post-match by kissing his left middle finger and showing it to the crowd. 'That'll be a pocket lightener,' Alistair Nicholson said on Channel Seven. 'It pretty much is always followed by a fine,' co-commentator James Brayshaw said. Ginnivan had earlier gestured to the Adelaide crowd after booting a telling goal, and after the match replied to an Instagram post of vision of him flipping the bird as he walked down the race, commenting simply: 'best coin spent'. Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks feels the ladder-leading Crows passed a stern finals-like test, the likes of which they appear destined to face deep into September. 'To reset the way we did and the maturity our boys showed, led by Daws [Dawson] at quarter-time ... to be able to bring the game to even keel at half-time, I thought was another way to win,' he said. 'Another way in what was a finals atmosphere and our opposition were finals standard.' Nicks was a picture of calmness during that quarter-time reset, such is the confidence he had in his players to be able to spin the contest around – which they did, emphatically. 'We trust our playing group completely,' he said. 'They trust us, so in that moment [quarter-time] there is no need for yelling and screaming. 'You go back three or four years, you'll probably find me yelling and screaming at a quarter-time break. 'I look back on that I think that's me not necessarily trusting that we're all on the same page - and maybe then we weren't. 'It took us time to get to that and show that maturity.'
