  • One comment in the SI article that bothered me was the citation of swimming as a "niche sport". From SI's perspective it's certainly a niche sport. Their bread-and-butter sports are football, baseball, basketball and hockey, with a little bit of golf and tennis thrown in. (Oh, yeah, I almost forgot the swimsuit edition.) I was sitting in the doctor's office this morning and they happened to have that issue. I got to the end of the second page and was disappointed to see the article wasn't more detailed. I went to their website just now. They don't even list swimming in their "Other" tab. Skip
