Most importantly, this cover is almost identical to the one that ran on SI's Winter Olympic preview in 1992. That one featured a gentleman named A.J. Kitt and I'm pretty sure nobody complained that it was too provocative.


I hate feminists.  They make it SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT for the rest of us...

Am I missing something?  She is in a natural pose of her sport and how I like'em.

I think they should redo that pic in the same pose, except this time in a string bikini.

Exactly what I though.  I was sitting here staring at it trying to figure out what I was missing.  I'm a normal guy, but I didn't even take the pose to be sexual in nature until feminists pointed it out.  I took it to be a female down hill skier.

I guess feminists are no different than someone like Al Sharpton who sees race in everything that happens involving a black man.  Feminists must see sexism simply because a woman is involved.

Oh and the 4% female cover situation?  You think SI doesn't know who their audience is?  I would say they know what cover material sells magazines.  If more female covers meant more sales....that's what we would see.  You also don't see many male Indian cricket players (although I do remember one) or male Asian table tennis stars on the cover either.  It's not about male or female....it's about what sells and what doesn't.

or nekkid.

And yes JA, you are right.

Who does Cosmo, People and other mags put on their covers? Its all about the audience. And doesnt offend me a bit.

Thanks for remembering us female Xers.  Much obliged.
