I remember this edition

America was a different place then, Clinton was being impeached, John Rocker was doing racist tirades, everybody was catching heat.

And I imagine the baby mom approved the picture.

Honestly speaking, fathering many children with lots of different women is what we're programmed to do biologically as men. Pro athletes just have the ability to do so given how many women throw themselves at them.

I don't look at this type of behavior as being bad. You guys are just sensitive to it cause we've been conditioned by society to view it as a bad thing to be a man who has many children with different women and not be actively part of your kids life.

For most of human history this is how we came about. A few men having sex with most women and thus fathering most of the children in the world.

Yeah, that sounds all good until u the athlete who probably play in the NFL where contracts not guaranteed and u like Cromartie who has 14 kids by 11 different women and u on the hook for child support and u only getting $800,000 a year in salary and your career is only 4 years

Obviously.

I was only talking about the social aspects of this not the financial. Obviously in the modern world kids cost a lot of money so its not financially prudent to have manh children.

I dont remember that cover but i remember that was a topic that was on the news often with the rumor that Jordan was being extorted by a woman he had a kid with. I think the main players they were talking about back then were Larry Johnson and Shawn Kemp. At least that's who they were pointing to as examples

Larry Johnson

Above the fray.
...from May 1998 (watching First Things First, they just brought it up):



Breh, sensibilities have definitely changed in the last twenty years. Because Sports Illustrated would likely be committing brand suicide if they tried something like this today...

....but then again, we are living in the age of Trumpisms....so ain't no tellin' with these fools nowadays.. :snoop:

cancelled subscription after that

and I went on a fukk S.I. mission, I used to press Rick Reilly about KNOWING that Lance Armstrong was dirty but protecting him because he was a white American athlete......the same way that Larry Bird's daughter was mentioned in the article but NOT put on the cover.
Bird had a biological daughter that he never acknowledged much less supported , but the Black son of an obscure Black athlete is who is placed on the cover .

When Lance Armstrong was finally exposed I sent letters and postcards to Rick Reilly at S.I. shytTING on him for being a fukking idiot.
