I've been reading articles and apparently she is a badass at her sport. In my opinion it would have been better to lead with the sports aspect and then transitioned into her off the field accomplishments. I know many will disagree but doing it vice versa is actually a turn off for someone seeking sports stories from a sporting magazine. Hell, you could take that cover and place it on any other magazine and it works but fails miserably for SI

I can think of one person who is actually likable and respectful to his peers and opponents alike. Who gives credit to those around him and is truly a spectacular sportsperson.
SI you should have chosen Patrick Mahomes II |

If nobody cares about soccer then there's no point to post it. The only reason you posted it is because she's political. It irks you to see someone who has a different, outspoken, political viewpoint than yours get the recognition. We see tons of posts that are against her pro-woman, anti-Trump stance everyday on DC, we know where the vast majority of the board sides in that realm. There's nothing wrong with that, but ever since a week after the U.S women's team was done with their season, nobody is talking about Rapinoe unless it's politically based. It's not even your original post, I just know that some idiot will start posting something political in a thread like this, then someone else will reply, and it'll end up in DC.

Even if you don't put her in uniform, put on of her feet on a soccer ball. If it a football player, at least put the black streaks under their eyes or something. Put a racket somewhere in the picture with a tennis player. Hang boxing gloves over the corner of the chair with the boxer. Even if it's not the main focus, their sport should be represented. It's just my opinion. Thank you for taking the time to link others I could bitch about...lol. |

I wonder, then, what the political aspect of Serena Williams' thighs were. Same with the fellas (not the thighs but lack of sport balls)... what was the political play there? (rhetorical) Not to be disengenious and say there wasn't a "political" aspect to her selection due to her being outspoken about issues facing women's sports along with being a dominating force in women's soccer. I'll argue, though, that her stance isn't political but social. |

I know our defense is playing much better, but I still wouldn't let the opportunity pass to bring Serena Williams in for a look at MLB. I bet that dude can bring the lumber.

I'll also admit my "political" comment might have been swayed by me trying to figure out who she is. When I was searching for articles there were just as many articles (if not more) about non sports related stuff. Anyways, it was just my opinion and nothing more. I'll head back to my regularly scheduled lurking now |

I never saw them play because they're women that aren't a hockey team. I've never heard a word from her (hell, I'd never heard of her at all) presumably because I'm not a member of the LMNOP community and I'm not a pissed off woman. Equal pay between the sexes in sports is a laughable equal rights conversation, not an important one. There's no problem, really. It's their magazine and if they want to ride it down this way, that's cool with me.
