I haven't even seen a SI in at least 25 years. Idiot.

Dr's offices are probably the only thing keeping most of these magazines in business

WTF are they thinking?

SI hasn't been relevant in a while but this is the literal end.

I mean, not my cup of tea but I don't think Martha Stewart is a man? Looks pretty damn good for 81

You'd hit it? From the neck down I bet she looks as nasty as an other 81 year old.

Nah, that's the part about looks good for 81.

True---but credit where credit is due. A lot of women in their 50's look more like a sack of potatoes---many dont even look like women anymore. Would I hit that? lol---No---of course not----she's friggin 81.

Every doctor's office I've been in has an SI, but it's from 2006.

Schiff, I'm 75 and I wouldn't even consider Martha as a woman of interest. That's the price of being old, the young ones look at you like grandpa and the old ones are too beat up to even muster a look. There's exceptions to that though but the ones that do look okay in their 60s are married already.

If my wife passed before I do I definitely will stay single until death. The only reason at my age I would entertain a woman would be to go dancing. I still love to party and I know that there's younger women who would jump at the chance of going out even if it's with an much older man. You can persuade them by just telling them that it's a date to a dance and no hankie pankie. The good thing about me is that I look 60 and act like 40. I still have a ton of energy. LOL

He thinks the marketing department dopes at SI are geniuses for putting a man with a dick in a swimsuit and selling it to men.... same with putting an 81 dried out crusty old lady on a cover.

Only morons would think this is a good idea and could be a viable product.

Re-touched?

There has to be a Ashley Biden diary joke in there somewhere.

Oh I don't care about this at all.

SI can put whatever they want on their cover and Martha is a pretty popular personality and I suspect millions more women look like her than like traditional swimsuit models.

as to the crass 'spank bank' comments... jeez what a bunch of troglodited you fools are.

Yes, heaven forbid a sports-centric magazine might extoll the virtues of an athletic and healthy body... one that is, like most sports, mostly the result of fortunate genetics and hard work and training... Let's celebrate a celebrity chef on SI, and put a swimsuit model on 'Cooks Monthly'.

It is certainly possible that the Martha Cover will attract thousands of women, or I suppose men who identify with Martha to buy that one magazine, but unless they're really interested in sports, they won't become subscribers... and similarly, many subscribers will mostly ignore the Martha cover and continue to enjoy the sports content in the magazine. Don't know and don't care.... I suspect their normal readership is 40-60 yr old men... and while Martha might be somewhat age appropriate... 90% of the subject matter of the magazine is men and women under 35.... often under 25.

but yes, there will be some people, especially in these days where magazines are a dying/dead media form... who will 'punish' SI for their 'wokeness'. I think this is a 'death-bed declaration.'

Sports Illustrated going hard for that market share of people with both boobs and male genitals. I'm sure that will really increase sales.

SI does what they do with the cover to generate clicks and chatter.

Nothing more.
