SI is owned by CNN, right? Steve Rushin is an idiot and CNN is a moral vacuum.

It's the Obama-Nobel Peace Prize effect. Like everything else with Obama, it is based solely on hope.

A lot of athletes are African-Americans ...

Maybe Sports Illustrated just got confused ...

They are correct. Barry has done more to support the shooting sports in the US than any other Communist in the last 50 years.

Of course. The genius who always picks the #1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament to go the Final Four is surely a powerful sports prodigy.

I thought Time owned SI. Their hyping homosexuals has been over the top in recent years, along with condemning any player that dared state his opinion about them,

They also managed to publish many pages on the Sandusky thing without once mentioning that it was homosexual rape.

cancel your SI subscription. It's all cr#p anyway. If you buy it for the "swimsuit" edition, you can get better picks online of those same models. The articles can be usually found on ESPN online.

Just hurt them where it counts, the pocket book.

I'm seeing the gradual demise of sports with the increased taxes, inflation and decreased disposable income.
