BBC News: JD Sports removes Scotland kit photo after sexism row
"Scotland's official football kit retailer has removed a suggestive photo advertising women's football strips after a father complained.
JD Sports came under fire after using a model with ripped jeans, posing provocatively, to sell the female version of the official shirt.
Pictures of the men's and children's versions were presented in a more traditional standing pose.
The Scottish FA asked JD Sports to remove the image and it did.
Both the retailer and the SFA apologised "for any upset caused"."
Seems remarkable that nobody realised this would happen before the photos went live.
