Sports Illustrated is throwing all of the laws out of the window and reportedly splashing a nearly nude 66-year-old woman across its cover to sell some magazines. So why is this prestigious sports publication banking on a nekked senior citizen to deliver the dollars and the buzz? If that imagery was such a slam-dunk, AARP would have built a franchise off the bare wrinkly bums of retirement-village-dwelling women across this great land.
The short answer is that this isnt just any 66-year-old woman its transgender activist and athlete Caitlyn Jenner, who will reportedly grace a summer cover in nothing but the American flag and the gold medal she won as Bruce Jenner in the 1976 Olympics.
Since transitioning from male to female, Jenners had an insatiable appetite for attention something the media, including E!, is more than happy to feed.
And before everyone slaps a transphobic tag on this column, Id like to clarify one thing: Ive had a phobia of seeing old people naked since my parents subjected me to repeated viewings of Cocoon. Once youre eligible for Social Security, put on your damn clothes. Yes, Jenner has the benefit of both having been an elite male athlete during most of her life and being fresh from the plastic surgeons knife. At a statuesque 6 foot 2, she probably has a better physique than say, my mom, who decades ago converted from Catholicism to Weight Watchers.
But just because something exists doesnt mean its for public consumption. The only time empowerment should be attached to a Jenner or Kardashian nude snap is if a college degree emblazoned with the appropriate name is covering up their private parts.

They’re making it even more disgusting. I read that he will be draped with an American flag. I call that desecration.
The DNA doesn’t lie,
Jenner is still a guy.
It isn't a woman at all.
In our dystopian future when Bruce is made pregnant by some latter-day Dr. Frankenstein we will see him on the front cover of Cosmo reproducing Demi Moore's famous pose.
This is not a prediction. It is a prophecy.
First lie: He’s not a woman. He still has all his tackle, and has stated that he intends to keep it.
Somebody gave me a subscription to SI for Christmas. I never even look at it. Each copy goes into the recycle bin, unread. With this report of what they plan with Twisted Mister, I now know why.
Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner is the perfect poster boy for pretty much the whole world of “sports” other than fishing or hunting.
“Sports” is a huge government program so it’s only fitting that Sports Illustrated is going to toe the government line lionizing the government’s queers or whatevers.
That the NY Post would call HIM a woman tells you something.
BUT if we decide to ‘play’ their game, when confronted with the ‘women make less than men’ just point out that Bruce recently got a chicken dinner and 2500 for a speech while Caitlyn gets 250 thousand or so?
Did Bruce Jenner have full-blown sex-change surgery, hormone treatments, or just start wearing women’s clothes?
It’s a man who’s made himself grotesque who dresses like a woman.
if, and when, I get that edition, it goes back to them ending about 20 years of my subscription.
This just proves that the people at SI are racist. They they overlooked Ru Paul the black guy who also won as many gold medals as Caitlyn Jenner.
If the sports world wants to herald him/her, shouldn’t all his swimming records be listed on the women’s side....Caitlin would be the record holder in women’s swimming FOREVER.
more cuss words in the online letter i sent them than regular words :)
told them would Never go to their website again. Nor will I watch ESPN.
There’s ALWAYS an alternative. Unless you dont care enough.
American flag
Natural women are obsolete and so passe.
He’s mentally ill.
A US flag. Disgusting.
“Since transitioning from male to female,”
More like imagining.
I actually think its mental illness tied to the long ago instant celebrity and then trauma of the death of his brother.
I think he totally lost himself over the years.
Now all of a sudden, everyone is paying attention to him again.
I would not be surprised if he gets a hold of himself someday and quits this nonsense.
