this looks like a parody - SI has gone liberal in a bad way
I posted about SI being a liberal rag a year or two ago, and got ridiculed big time by a few people for saying that.
Hmmmm, who was right about that one?
Reminds me when the UPN (now bankrupt network) suits ORDERED all their show to do some sort of aids related show.
Even foisted the manure on Enterprise.
Some suit somewhere must have ordered the editors to do this in all their magazines.
For most people Sports illustrated exists only once a year. Once the swim suit hype passes it goes back to oblivion.
This issues has successfully reduced all professional sports into the same fiction as wrestling.
