Sports Illustrated the sports magazine and the famous
swimsuit issue
- by Vince Sparta
Sports illustrated is one of the most popular sports magazines read
today.
It covers all the major sports as well as some sports that are not as
mainstream like extreme sports and snowboarding.
Sports illustrated's writers are some of the
best in the world of sports. With writing that goes beyond the
sports or sports stars they are covering sometimes you actually
feel like you are there yourself.
Often controversial themselves the writers are not scared of tackling
the stories that other sports magazines would not touch like gambling
in sports or athletes using drugs. The in-depth writing has won sports
illustrated many journalism awards for their outstanding sports
articles.
Selling millions of copies of magazines a year is nothing new for
them. The funniest thing is the issue that sells the most every year
is the famous "sports illustrated swimsuit issue". From what we hear
this issue is also read by women looking to see what types of
swimsuits are going to be popular for the year. We can all figure out
why the swimsuit issue is popular with men.Famous models have graced
the cover of sports illustrated over the years such as Christy
Brinkley, Kathy Ireland, and Elle McPherson and helped to make them a
household name. These models and many more can thank sports
illustrated for catapulting their careers and giving them plenty of
exposure.
Ok enough about swimsuit models, lets get back to what sports
illustrated does and that is report on sports. Every year right after
any major sports event like the super bowl, the World Series, NBA
championships, and the Stanley cup playoffs you can expect great
stories from both the winning and losing teams.
Telling personal
upfront stories of sports athletes is what sports illustrated does
best. some of their stories have been about Pete Rose as well as horse
racing's superstar Secretariat.
We don't have to tell you that a subscription to sports illustrated
makes a great sports gift. It gives you sports articles all year round
plus the famous swimsuit issue. Figure we would just drop a little
hint, heck it might even make a great gift for yourself.
