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?

I hope that neither of Amanda's parents google into this thread. Regardless of how they feel about her baring all for the masses, hearing their daughter called all sorts of unsavory names would have to hurt. I cannot imagine anything my daughter would do which would change the way I love her. Criticizing or supporting her choice, speculating about her future, damning or defending the medium have been good discussions. I think the name calling, however, disregards her humanity and diminishes ours.
