Is The SI Lindsey Vonn Controversy The Dumbest Controversy In the History of the Universe?
Vs.
Boston.com - Sports Illustrated’s Olympic preview issue came out this week, featuring a studio shot of U.S. ski racer Lindsey Vonn on the cover. Vonn posed for the cover without a helmet, in tuck position, and smiling at the camera. The magazine proclaimed her “America’s Best Woman Skier Ever.” If we include freestyle in the conversation, Donna Weinbrecht might have something to say about that, but regardless…The cover is drawing criticism in some circles of the ski media. Ski Magazine – which featured an action shot of Vonn on its recent Olympic preview cover even posed the question to its fans on Facebook yesterday: “Which is better: their staged shot of Vonn looking like a delicate snow bunny? Or our high-speed race shot of Vonn looking like the raging world beater she is?”
I tried my best to ignore this on Friday because I hate the Olympics, but even I got to admit this Lindey Vonn SI Cover controversy kind of caught me off guard. Seriously what am I missing here? Like is this one of those magic eye type covers where if you stare at it long enough suddenly she becomes naked with a dick in her ass? It must be because for the life of me I can’t figure out what the feminists and skiers are upset about with this. I mean every SI preview issue since the beginning of time has featured pictures of smiling athletes without their helmets on. It doesn’t matter whether it’s football, the Olympics, hockey etc. That’s what a preview issue is. It introduces you to the athletes. This was no different. There was nothing remotely sexist about it.
Not to mention the fact that 99% of the country has no idea who this bitch is. So if you want people to get to know her then you need them to be able to recognize her. Hey newsflash nobody gives a shit about skiing. The best way to get people to care is to show a pretty blond girl on the cover of SI. So skiers and feminists alike should be sucking Sports Illustrated dick for making her the poster girl of the winter games instead of whining and moaning about nothing. And yes way more people will be interested now in watching her after seeing her face which is good for skiing then looking at her with her helmet on. After all it’s a known fact Americans don’t root for ugly chicks.
She’s a major babe. None of that skinny heroin/waif shit. And she totally dominates her sport. In other words, she has a great ass.
when i look at the sports illustrated cover all i can think is ‘wow, the lady on the skiis sure looks like she wants a large cock inserted in her beautiful tight round asshole’ but maybe its just me?
Top pick looks like old school Christy Brinkley.
You hate Miracle On Ice?
You hate hot ski chicks? There are Olympic smokeshows you know.
This here is not really a controversy, except one that the media might try and make up to get you to circulate the story. Which is OK, since everyone should check out the US Ski team. We do not really care much about skiing other than a recreational sport. You are correct.
I like the SI picture better because she’s smiling and it says “Head” in big letters.
“Head” is right honey….
First off, she is gorgeous. Secondly, any “controversy” must be cooked up by the most vile, man-hating feminist ever.
Not like we don’t have to see male athletes posing without any shirts on for half the yearly magazine covers (ESPN, I’m looking at you). But now if a woman doesn’t have her face covered, we catch shit from feminazis?
We need to take this country back…
