Interesting that many of the athletes appearing in the ESPN's Body Issue admitted to feeling uncomfortable posing nude.
I believe it's because, in their spirits, they know it's wrong to publicly expose themselves, particularly to the millions of under-age kids who look up to them.

Most of the athletes were at least doing a relevant action shot. Gronkowski’s photos were just about getting naked.

Spot on article. I’ve loathed ESPN since I stopped drinking the NFL Known Felons League’s Koolaid. They’re always first to cry racism, many times before Jesse and Al Sharpie have their busses warmed up and loaded with their rent-a-mobs. I sure wish Fox Sports Channel would have survived. They were honest about their racial bias and sometimes frankly embarrassed.

The Daily Caller is guilty of the same, I noticed. Use to post there but complained against the soft porn posings and dropped them. Irritated me no end the lack of respect for conservatives on a red meat news site.

I can’t really weigh in until I see the offending pictures. I am sure I am not alone.

Uh oh! Looks like Michelangelo was into "soft core porn" as well! And those first Olympics -when athletes competed in the nude - that was hard-core!

I think the point was that they DIDN’T expose themselves. You don’t see anymore of any of the athletes then you would see at the beach. Porn depicts(soft) or displays(hard) sexual activity, it’s not just pictures of scantily clad people.

I find it absolutely hillarious that you would write such a fine article denigrating ESPN for having pictures of naked men, then do it yourself.
Quote from your article, "Indeed, the nude athletic bodies on public dispaly in the Mag tempt readers to look upon them lustfully. And causing others to stumble into sin is itself a sin."
You should not criticize others for things that you also do, especially when you believe it is wrong.

We have no pictures of naked men. Nor naked women, for that matter. We posted a photo of ESPN the Magazine’s cover. That’s journalism.
To: CHRISTIAN DIARIST
ESPN the magazine has always been gay porno. America’s sports cult is an embarasment.

Neither Playboy or Playgirl depict actual sexual activity. Are they not pornography?

Link to all the pics, men and women.. NSFW Though most are tastefully done in a artistic sense.
