Race, Sports, and a controversial Vogue cover shot

i think the cover is awful. its too busy looking and they look like they were photochopped in together. i don't know why vogue would put lebron on the cover anyway, or any other male athlete, when they have men's vogue, esp if they're only going to use them as a "king kong" wannabe.
and seriously, if they wanted this to look like king kong, where are the buildings?? isn't faye wray supposed to be a bit smaller?

Farfetched notion regarding the cover shot.
I believe the bigger question (read: concern) for Whitlock, if I'm interpreting him properly, is the perception the buffoonery the black athlete exhibits (on and off the field) has on a white viewing audience, and what those actions say about an entire race of black men to anyone watching.Last edited by slow groove; 03-26-2008, 08:22 PM."Let me lay it right on the line.
