When I signed Paul up for the ESPN magazine as a Christmas present, I had no idea that he was going to be receiving a porn-like issue one month. I was shocked, and kind of pissy about it... quite frankly! I don't think that you have to have a "Body Issue" that is FULL of naked important people to talk about the human body.
Do you? What would you do?
I want to call whoever at ESPN, and cancel my subscription. I want to complain that our children can receive this magazine, and this is NOT something they should be looking at. I want to get mad at all the "super stars" that posed in this, what kind of example is that for our children? Really people. Let's forget about the children, do you want your Husband looking at this? BECAUSE there is a A LOT of naked women in it too!

Seriously, that's why I've never gotten my husband a 'sports magazine' subscription of any kind :). Why do they need naked or mostly naked women in sports magazines, anyway?? Some women are more comfortable with it, but I've never wanted to give my husband even MORE reminder of what he's DOESN'T have ;). I'm pretty sure there are 'other' magazines that cover the naked people category.
I would ask to be removed from the list. Period! I think that it's very demeaning to us woman and I know there are some men in this world that feel the same way. Stick up for what you know is right! I have your back girl.
Terrible! I hate that society thinks that nudity and posing nude is ok. I wish everyone understood the concept of your body is a temple.

Hooray for speaking up! I got more than a little irritated by Reader's Digest putting the soap~bubbled covered naked ladies (Dove soap ad) on the back's of their covers. After a couple of months and I'm sure many complaints, they stopped.
Wow! so glad my teen sons ESPN mag.exped!So not ok!!
Burn it! Call whoever you need to and get a refund!!
OH OH OH let me tell you WHAT I do, ty LOVES SI but there is the bathing suit issue where you can see like through their wet bathing suits and sometimes it is just painted on them.
So I learned when it comes, what month, and I grab it from the mailbox tear it into tiny pieces and throw it in the trash.
Annoys me too
Oh my... I am so sorry you have been sick. I know the pregnancy sicks are no fun. The 2 times I have been prego have been rough. The smell of anything italian made me sick. I hope that you start to feel a little better. Just think of your little bundle of joy on the way and that will help you feel more positive :)

I don't understand why. It's a sports magazine--not playboy!
I think you should get in touch with the magazine and complain. I really think so.
Ok so how are you feeling today. Good I hope. I hope this makes you feel better.
I left a present for you on my blog :)

Yikes.
Why do people think the only way to be proud of their bodies and to flaunt it around all nekkid?
Hi!
I'm one of the athletes in the magazine. I'm honestly sorry you were upset by the issue but I think you may be missing the point of it. The magazine is purely showcasing the human body as a thing of beauty and athleticism. None of the girls in this issue would have ever been in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit or Playboy... we're not that type of build. I am big and strong and very proud of my body. I did not pose nude to offend anyone, but show people what rowers look like. And I disagree that it makes us 'bad role models' because I hope that girls who are big or have muscles will stand a little taller and be proud of the things they've worked for. I'm not a model, I'm an athlete, and I'm proud of my accomplishments.
