They dont exactly allow for full female nudity either on some of these sites, so its not that big a deal. I really had no idea that Chara of the Bruins was that ripped.

That’s unbelievable!

So it’s ok for girls to run out to the store and buy the magazines. It’s ok for websites catered to women to show these pictures. It’s ok for websites catered to men to show pictures of the semi nude women.

But it’s not ok for a gay sports website to show these pics (none of which are tasteless… they were well taken photographs)???

This is 2009 yet why do I get the feeling we’re still stuck in the 70′s (not that I’d know what that was like since I was born in ’83 but you get my point!)

Not copyright, content. Gay sites are often held to different standards from the same advertisers who place ads on the SI swimsuit pages.

BTW – why did some of your advertisers threaten to pull out if you guys published the full pictures? Was it a copyright thing or was it more due to the content?

Glad to see you used the pic of the Edmonton Oilers

Andrew Cogliano is a total hottie! (he’s the one on the right in the towel)
