I actually stopped subscibing about 20 years ago. And yeah, the swimsuit issue, which was at one time ahead of the curve, degenerated into little more than a woke pornfest.
My favorite monthly issue of SI growing up was the one a month after the swimsuit issue when all the moms wrote in complaining that they would never have given a gift subscription to their son for Christmas if they knew it was a porn magazine 😂🤣.
Mom was (and still is), very religious and she didn't think that a 7 year old boy needed to be looking at that sort of thing. She's not extreme but she's always been a firm believer in age appropriate ways.
Dad, on the other hand, was a member of the Polar Bear Club. The real one, where you went skinny dipping in the creek in January. He and his best friend also "borrowed" a local farmer's horse and snuck it into the high school gym along with a bale of hay and bucket of water. The night before graduation.
So, pandering to the lgbtq whatever community instead of actually reporting on sports isn't profitable for a sports magazine. Who knew?
If the swimsuit issue was still about "women" in Swimsuits - I'd care.... But I don't

Yep, and that's the way it was from the first one in 1964! My mom wanted to cancel the subscription but it was in Dad's name and he said no.
As far as I know my mom never thought that and gave each us a subscription when we went off to college, even me, her only daughter.

I think my dad would have been the one more offended, but I never heard him say anything either.

That’s awesome!!😎
I can’t say that I am surprised. I saw it coming a mile away!
Did they already shoot the swimsuit issue? 🤣
I don’t think they’re going AI, I think they are just going away.
I'd say if SI had any credibility - and I have no idea because I don't read it - they just lost it to the fantasy writers.
