the controversy” over Lindsey Vonn’s Sports Illustrated cover shot was ridiculous. She’s a downhill racer, the “pose” is a legitimate tuck—a tool of her trade. Then, today, the bombshell, so to speak: an entire gallery of Lindsey, from SI’s vaunted Swimsuit Issue

I don't think the cover picture

was sexist. It showed a skier

doing what a skier does. As to

the swimsuit picture it is without

a doubt sexy. Sexist?? The

Sports Illustrated swimsuit

issue is about beautiful women

wearing swimsuit. It is not meant

to be about sport.

I agree. Being physically attractive is not a negative and there is no reason a woman athlete should not pose for pictures that show her attributes in a good light. As long as she doesn't wear a swinsuit at the olympic sliing events there should be no problem.
