SI cover controversy

[scpanther22]

smh...

Lindsey Vonn is an elite alpine athlete set to tackle the world of women's skiing at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, but her appearance in this month's Sports illustrated, complete with cover shot of the skier posed bent over, rolling down a mountain, has drawn fire from critics as "sexualized."

Hawt

If they added a butt plug and ball gag and maybe the ski boots were thigh high and leather...otherwise that looks like an athlete in an athletic position to me

[PanthaSan]

Gaaaaaaaaa.

She looks soooooo ready for me to come up from behind and hit it....

[zebrainz]

I don't remember any controversy over this one.

I'd like to see that NASCAR chick Danica bent over like that

[charlotte49er]

At my age, I'd even settle for Sarah Palin cracked over like that! (Of course it would help of thinking that I was doing Tina Fey!)

You betcha!

fuging idiot people these days....everything is bad and everything is sexual....go hide in a cave and die! Nothing wrong with either of those pics!

I'm so hawt now.

I lil OT..But does anybody think I can use this for Sociology paper..Sexism maybe??

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

This is the magazine that puts out an issue of pictures of women with hardly any clothing at all on once a year....and yet a picture of a fully clothed athelete in the natural posistion of her sport of choice is too "sexual"?

Just making sure I've got my facts straight here.

[shinner]

Honestly, I think her ass is actually too high to be replicating a run down the mountain...but still, not a big deal.

I would like to sexualize her in that position... but that pic is not. Some women's libber got their panties in a wad probably.
