ESPN Put A Nude Guy On Its Magazine’s Cover And Some Men Can’t Handle It
Rūta Grašytė BoredPanda staff
Football star Zeke Elliott just posed nude for the cover of ESPN Magazine’s annual “Body Issue”, and men are not happy about it.
This year’s issue features some of America’s best athletes, including tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy and Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel ‘Zeke’ Elliott. But some of the men are furious about the fact that Elliott posed nude for the magazine and jumped to some insane conclusions, like calling him “homosexual”. Though they weren’t all negative, many people commented some positive things as well. What do you think about Zeke’s photo? Let us know in the comment section below!

What do you think ?
Double standarts at its finest. A naked man on a cover will most likely not make the Earth spontaneously combust. And the people who say "This is gay" miiiiight be a little insecure about their OWN sexual preference ;)
As you say "miiiiight" ;p
Ghost Soldier, that still doesn't explain why they mark it as "gay". Care to explain that, hmm? ;)

or maybe...just maybe a lot of espn's primary viewership which suprise suprise is men might not want to see a naked guy...hmmm what are the odds of that??
Saying this is "gay" is absolutely stupid. Nice publicity stunt by the magazine. On the other hand, if their readership is mainly male, it could also be counterproductive to do this too often - most men just don't find another guy's hairy butt aesthetically pleasing.

I can understand where they are coming from considering that it is gay pride month, and obviously putting naked men on the front of a

Magazine that generally men look through might be a little unsettling, but not worthy of words like "gay" and "homosexual". Have a great day
How can anyone be offended or threatened by this?! Welcome to the world women live in every day! And he's not even revealing anything!
Guess the problem that the magazin supposed target audience are men. Or they just fed up because they got a fully nude male on the cover before a fully nude female.
Look through any woman's magazine and is it full of naked men? No it's full of photos of semi naked women advertising all sorts of products. It's the same as ads on TV. This is an example of what we put up with on a daily basis!
This is great! Exposing double standards. If it was a woman, people would call it 'beautiful' and 'natural' and defend her right to dress as she wanted. Why does the same not apply to men? Don't like it? Don't look.
Don't forget 'brave'
Brave, because she risks being "slut shamed" and stamped a tramp for the rest of her life.
And the men would be slobbering over it, not complaining.
But the women would be the ones slut shaming. Surely you see the coincidence here? It works both ways.
The guys are complaining not the ladies...
