I see where you are coming from but don't agree with the opinion in the article. The author seems hung up on the fact that the ad campaign centers around a good looking female. Look at it this way, would it matter if she was ugly? Or if she was a guy? If so they would be getting pretty close to discrimination.

It's not that she's pretty or ugly, it's that she's a swimsuit model. She makes a living wearing scandalous clothing and flaunting her sex appeal. That's a lot different than just being "a good looking female" (although I admit I laughed after reading this sentence lol).
It's also a bigger deal because she's a spokesperson. Her whole job is to represent the NFL and attract a larger audience. If you had to pick a spokesperson for the NFL it would probably be a retired player or a beer drinking fan right? I don't see how you can point to anything except A) her being a fan of the 49ers and 😎 her sex appeal as factors for being chosen spokesperson. Hell, look at the photos.
As far as what I think? Normally I don't think it should be a big issue, but with how Goodell is treating all the players in the league this is kind of a slap in the face. "Hey! Favre likes sending pictures of his cock to hot young females? I'll bring one in as the spokesperson!" "Hey the Jets like cat-calling at hot female reporters? I just hired a hot female as our spokesperson!" etc.,
