It's hard to imagine how this could happen. There is a "Barbie Selfie Generator" offered by the promoters of the new "Barbie" movie. That explains why random people are displaying themselves on Twitter with Barbie branding, but it doesn't explain why the FA would deem this appropriate... especially the one with "This Barbie is a Bunny"!

So Mattel didn’t pay for this promotion?
It ain’t that Barbie doll. Her heart’s been broken just like you
Bunny. That's her name.
I've seen the Barbie promotions. This is funny. Why delete? I hope they included the men: "This is a Ken." "This is also a Ken."
Or is this a gendering complaint? I assumed it was a woman-demeaning complaint.
Oh, ffs. Does this have your Not Funny tag? Because really, this is cute.
I expect they were going for irony, but this is dangerous world in which to be clever and with all the cachet attached to being outraged, no opportunity will be missed.
We’re all Barbie
The player on the left goes by the nickname "Bunny," which is presumably why they used that language.
I suspect the EFA marketing department got an offer from Universal marketing department. The rest was just the wheels grinding as they do. Question, which is worse; not bringing inappropriate attention to EFA women or comparing EFA women to Barbies to bring attention to both the women and the movie? Until this post, I wouldn't have known there was a EFA for women players.
The distaste for Barbie in my generation is misplaced, a false feminism. The appeal of Barbie to little girls in the 50s and 60s was that she did what she damn well pleased, and no one stopped her. No parents, no teachers, and her boyfriend was a purely decorative cipher who could be made to dress and act however she liked. That she was "shallow" in her values with her clothes and hair and cars was not an issue for most girls, or her parents. To object to her was a status marker for education and (ahem) class: "I have a more elevated (preppy) idea of beauty and what should command my attention." Barbie was creator and citizen of a girl-controlled world...but she was the wrong kind of girl, so it didn't count.
Indulging diversity and exercising with dolls is playing with a double-edged scalpel. Who, would, have guessed.
I get it, jungle bunny.
Now do Aaron Rodgers.
Today's liberals are proving the best woman athletes are men! Barbies are good for some things too!
Girls will be girls as they always are.
No one told girls to love Madonna for her dress-up Barbie image, but they do
No one told girls to love Lady Gaga for her dress-up Barbie image, but they do
No one told girls to love all the cloying Disney princesses, but they do
No one told girls to buy millions of dollars of Kim Kardashian's smartphone fake dress up items, but they do
No one told girls to love Barbie dolls, but they do
Sometimes people just ARE who they are without self-reflection or ideology. Girls are Barbie lovers down deep.

Maybe I'm jaded, but that sure seems like how so many of the trans-women view women. With every "feminine" stereotype from the 1950s and 60s.
The only thing worse than Professional Team soccer is women's professional team soccer. I say, let the trannies have it.
Could be British slang, who knows.
They should be called the slugs.
Women's soccer (football) is painfully slow and unathletic.
My son's under-16 team (when he played) would be league champions.
Just another league being subsidized by the men's league and woke corporations because nobody wants to watch it...
"Barbie" will be as good as the SNL sketches they tried to turn into movies. Margot Robbie has a lovely foot fetish scene in the trailer, so I'm sure Quentin Tarantino will buy out whole theaters to see it again and again.
All the worry about the future of women's sports.
Isn't this the way to get people interested in women's sports?
And aren't male athletes often objectified?
Isn't that the path to lucrative endorsements?
The tweet were removed after one hour, when somebody realized that they forgot the R-in-circle trademark symbol. By the time Mattel ,the league, and the movie people started fixing the artwork, the demands for a Ken-in-drag had started.
"I've seen the Barbie promotions. This is funny. Why delete? I hope they included the men: "This is a Ken." "This is also a Ken."

I don't have a good idea how top level female athletes think on topics like this, but I have competed with and against male athletes that became either professionals or Olympians.
I can't imagine any of them would like to be compared to a small plastic doll.
The fact that Ken is literally emasculated is a completely separate reason that most men would not like the comparison.
Girls and... are dolls. This is toxic stereotyping. Is Mattel a female-run business? Perhaps they can hold vacuums, brandish mallets, or wield scalpels to shout out their union with the feminist hoodies.

If you're talking about the slow pan up (with cuts), I have it on good authority that the first part with the feet is a body double.
"...it doesn't explain why the FA (or Bud Lite, right?) would deem this appropriate... ".
No parallels? None at all?
