  2. snyderly answered: I think “Americans” are overwhelming concerned with sexual innuendo and finding it where it’s not. And creating it. And enjoying it.

  5. slkscrn answered: People get way to offended now-a-days. This is not sexual at all.
  6. humblethorn answered: Sports Illustrated print something sexually suggestive? Surely not, those swimsuit editions are all sold for the articles.

  8. petite-kopine answered: I agree that it’s not “sexually suggestive” and I think that even suggesting that this innuendo exists is demeaning to the women and men.

  10. fallenleafs answered: I don’t think the image is terrible, but it is rather indicative of how SI treats female athletes for their covers: this isn’t an action shot
  11. addahline answered: i think its more in her grin.
