ESPN Put A Nude Guy On Its Magazine’s Cover And Some Men Can’t Handle It
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!

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 ;)

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.

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.

*Insecure* men were offended. I didn't feel "gay" looking at this, didn't think he might be "gay" (who cares if he is?!). I noticed a guy who takes care of his body and is comfortable in his skin. Isn't that the goal for many of the readers?

I think there should be more nude/semi-nude males on the front covers of mainstream magazines, and not just on ones like Mens' Health. I don't mean in a 'ooh lets perv at the men on the covers' way but more to appreciate the male form and normalise seeing it. That sounds odd I know, I'm not good at expressing myself, but from an illustrators point of view, I found it very frustrating that life classes I used to go to were all with female models. I never got a male life drawing model, and if you don't have a spare male handy to model for you it's very hard to draw the male form. Muscles and fat distribution is different as is the way the body moves and how it's structured. It's not like I can look in the mirror and apply my own body features to a male form. So yeah I think there should be more covers like this :)

That's what I thought. "Thick" doesn't have to mean fat. Dude's got great thighs!
