Lindsey Vonn is hoping the Sports Illustrated cover jinx doesn't cross international borders. America's great Winter Olympic hope is featured on the front of SI's Winter Olympic preview issue, which hit newsstands Wednesday.
Vonn's semi-provocative pose has drawn the predictable ire from those who claim that it objectifies her. She's an athlete, not a sex symbol, the chorus inevitably reminds us. They have a point in taking issue with SI; the magazine rarely features women athletes on the cover and its annual swimsuit issue has been a focus of protests for decades. But Vonn's cover is different.

Feminists get mad when women aren't on the cover, and then they get mad when they are on the cover. You can’t win with those people
I think they were pulling for a lezzie like Rachel MadCow or Ellen Degenerate. Or maybe the demoRAT poster woman Helen Thomas on the cover. I don't even want to suggest a bent over pose....

There is a “foldout games guide” also. I wonder what that’s all about? Might have to check it out...

I don’t understand the problem. She will spend two to four minutes in this position in live video. It’s how the skiers get down the hill.

If the pose is wrong on the front of a magazine why is it right in front of crowds and cameras at the Olympics?
