Sports Illustrated Thinks Its Swimsuit Issue Is the Perfect Place to Highlight 'Social Justice Issues'
PJ Media ^ | 10 May 2022 | Chris Queen

When I was in high school I worked at my local library (I know — nerd alert). I loved being able to be one of the first to see new books when they came in and learning about new authors, but one nice advantage as a teenage boy was to get to see the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue before most subscribers received it in their mailboxes.

For nearly 60 years, Sports Illustrated has entertained millions of men with its yearly swimsuit edition. Readers anticipate the swimsuit issue for the beautiful women, but I’d wager that they don’t approach it for a nuanced discussion of the issues facing our society at large.

But that’s not what Sports Illustrated thinks.

Instead, Outkick reports that the magazine is crowing over this year’s issue, which hits newsstands this month, because the 2022 swimsuit edition features the women of the WNBA.

The only sportswoman more insufferable than this bunch is Megan Rapinoe.

One of the WNBA’s top players hailed the issue as a victory for social justice, or something, in a word salad.

“We represent a variety of things: of course women, women of color, members of the LGBTQIA2+ community and much more … The [Swimsuit] issue for so many years has been iconic and has represented a lot for women,” declared Sue Bird. “Now you are seeing an evolution in what that can mean and what that can look like, and I think the WNBA players being a part of that is what makes it special. There is no better group of women to showcase that evolution.”

A typical Jr HS boys team is superior the “pro” WNBA.

That’s why no one watches these “pros”.

Didn’t know SI was still in business. Can’t see why it should be now.

Why not take that one albino squirrel and act like it’s representative.

Makes more sense than this.

There has got to be a brain eating disease out therethat is as
contagious as COVID.

I bet that is a big seller. Maybe for trannies and lesbians.

Legacy print survives on clicks not subscriptions, and I kinda doubt racy pictures of pretty girls in swimsuits draws much attention on the web these days... Instead, they just make noise with this silliness.

The upper management is trying to bankrupt the magazine. Who wants to see guys in swimsuits?

“I’m really trying to like at least one of those girls, but none of them are my type”

True glamor photography is hard to find these days. Closest are today’s news, weather and sports babes.
