One day, the photograph of Allison Stokke was sent to sports blogger Matt Ufford, who owned a blog called With Leather. The blog was known for its objectification of women, particularly in the area of sports — and Stokke became its next target. Matt Ufford saw the photograph and decided to share it with his readers, titling the blog ‘Pole Vaulting is Sexy, Barely Legal.’
The blog, written just two months after Allison Stokke turned 18, drew massive attention to the photo of the pole vaulter competing, and it took the internet by storm. However, when the photo was taken, Allison Stokke was still only 17 years old. Was it even legal for Matt Ufford to publish this blog?
