Swiminfo.com has released a post saying that Amanda Beard will be on the cover of the July issue for Playboy.
How do you think this will effect her image among the swimming communties? Will any of us purchase this issue because of her?
Annointed swimming hero:
OK, I will jump to your side in that our kids need role models. Being a father of girls, I'm more knowledgeable about their needs versus those of boys.
Obviously, as my daughters choose their role models in swimming, I shall steer them towards successful swimmers who have used their swimming fame towards a rewarding or fulfilling life. In this forum, it seems obvious that our own Fort (despite her commie extremes), Duggan and swimr4life would be good candidates. There are also quite a few non Masters athletes out there for them to look up to.
If they also need a role model who is a pole dancin', extra skanky, strip teasin' former swimmer, well they now can fill that niche as well.
