Lindsey Vonn Sports Illustrated Photos

ite seems some immature people have a problem with coverage of this week's Sports Illustrated.The cover features a shot of American skier Lindsey Vonn, a favorite to win gold medals at the Winter Olympics next week, what can be considered as a sexually provocative forms.I can honestly say I was not aware of the sexual connotation of the image, until someone pointed it out to me. Actually, I think the picture is more banal scene that sexually suggestive.Of course it is not the first time a magazine with a large male audience have used sex appeal to promote a female Olympic athlete. Sports Illustrated is known for its swimsuit issue, so perhaps it is a ploy to play up to the Games.The latest edition of Sports Illustrated Lindsey Vonn Dubs as "America's Best Woman Skier Ever.If any dispute arises concerning this matter, one would think that this opinion could be the cause. But there is room for debate as U.S. Vonn is the first woman to win a global-to-back World Cup.However Vonn raised is creating a stir. It is not hard to see why:The question is a common expression when women athletes are portrayed in a sexual way:Is this objectification of them, or keep them? It is sexist, is to highlight the beauty Vonn, or simply the work of any photographer to get even more attractive to a thread?A leader in womantalksports.com reports that only 4% of Sports Illustrated covers women and the role that these "more likely than not sexualized travel and not the action - the latest deck Vonn is not an exception."Homie, why take offense to what I said when you were not one of the people he was talking about? I was simply stating that these comments are sexist, they are, "Try saying that about a woman at work and see how fast you get dragged to court for sexual discrimination / harassment. Besides, why my comments suggesting sexual frustration? Did you think prepared on the basis of my comments about sexual frustration? It is not very smart.I hope that people in these "advocacy groups, women" are not paid. The real cause for concern would be to think that there are people whose only direction in life is to ensure that they are in situations that indicate what they see. Expected to wear blindfolds when they talk among themselves.
