There needs to be separation.

Media that includes garbage like that on one side.

Media that doesn’t include garbage like that on the other side.

The short-haired soccer player looks better with her clothes on, or preferably no photo at all. The basketball player? She's cute! It's a shame to waste that much beauty on a genetic dead-end. Voluntary Darwin Award status should have no connection with the word "PRIDE".

It’s not about character. It’s about cameras and photos.

God hasn’t changed. It would be wise for Sodom and Gomorrah to repent!

People are idiots and they’ll sell their souls for a little bit of money.

It’s how cheap they really think of themselves.

I pay approximately zero attention to ESPN, and that's rounding up. I didn't know ESPN had a body issue, so I've obviously never seen their past copies. That said: is it ESPN's normal practice to put naked sexual couples, hetero or otherwise, on their covers?

I'm not a fan of putatively legit publications doing soft porn (and that includes the SI swimsuit issue), but if one is going to present "tasteful" nudes, I wouldn't object to using gay athletes in the mix. As individuals. Tastefully posed. With no attention whatsoever paid to their sexual preference, because that's not supposed to be the point of classical/heroic artistic nudity. The point is to celebrate the perfect human form. But apparently, ESPN thinks otherwise.

Question: does ESPN pair straight athletes with their sexual partners in nude poses? And don't the two gals posed here realize that they're being sexually exploited?

Megan Rapinoe is a dog. Sue Bird is somewhat attractive.

My prediction is that this is a temporary diversion for Sue Bird and goes back to the other side at some point; just like Ann Hetche.

Wonder what the 1st post said?
It doesn’t bother me that they chose a homosexual couple, unlike that homosexual organization demanding TV & movies have more than 16% homosexuals. I think it must be nice for fairly normal (if that’s possible) young homosexuals to identify with. Don’t know anything about the sports homosexuals on the cover. If they’re total dirtbags, I reserve the right to change my mind.
