'For years, women were denied their rightful place on the cover of SI, unless they were wearing almost nothing at all,' writes usatodaysports columnist cbrennansports
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREOnce upon a time, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue was a puzzlement to me. I was 12, and I didn’t understand why there was a women’s swimsuit issue in my sports magazine.
Then top female athletes started showing up in SI photo shoots, some of them posing more like those scantily-clad models than the terrific athletes they were. Still pretty good advice all these years later. But times have changed, and more and more of these young athletes believe they are striking a blow for empowerment, not succumbing to sexism’s lowest common denominator, by appearing in various stages of undress.
And it’s not just female athletes, but some males too. The split is nowhere near 50-50, and likely never will be, which is of course a problem, because if this really is all about empowerment and showing off your muscles, the guys would be as interested in participating as the women.
