Haley and Hanna recently clapped back at their haters.
Although the Cavinder twins are accomplished athletes whose hard work helped them earn fame and fortune, some critics believe the sisters don't deserve their platform or status as multi-millionaires.
Victoria Jackson, a former professional runner, spoke with The Free Press in June 2023 and argued that the Cavinder twins are being showered with cash because of their "sexiness and attractiveness," which is "unfair" to other female athletes who are more skilled in their sports.

"You would notice that somebody would get a big deal when she was middling, at best, and happened to be good-looking, and a woman who was making Olympic teams and winning national championships was having a hard time getting shoe deals," she told the outlet.
Sports historian Louis Moore told The Free Press, "If you look at the NIL girls, the first ones who were getting deals were the blonde girls," noting the Cavinder twins for their "very blonde, girl-next-door looks."

The twins acknowledge that they're in a position of privilege: "I mean, obviously, yes, this is a touchy subject, but I think that we are privileged, in a way," Hanna told the outlet. "Obviously, we don't deal with the same things that other women deal with or other people deal with, and that's just how our world is, and it's awful."
Despite agreeing to do the article, the Cavinder twins have opened up about their disappointment with the final product. On June 13, 2023, Hanna took to Twitter and stated the Free Press piece "disregards our work ethic and dedication towards NIL and business endeavors."

Hanna continued, "[The reporter] fails to acknowledge the young girls/woman that follow us and that we work so hard to inspire. Instead, he degrades us down to 'hot girl(s).'
"We are both disappointed and disgusted by this journalism practice and blatant sexist trope," she wrote. "We only wish to inspire young women to chase their dreams, work hard, think big. Now we must also defend them against men that wish to sum their potential to physical appearance."
