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?
OK, question, as I got to thinking (for a change): Why is the Playboy symbol a rabbit (bunny)? Why not some other cute animal, like, say, a beaver?
Inquiring minds want to know. Seriously, is there a history?

Actually a good question and I don't know the answer. That said, put a pair of bunny ears on a girl and it's cute. Can't really say the same about having her wear a set of beaver teeth. :)
Your right Karen....Women's swim suits rock these days! (Not that I ever really noticed or anything...I mean I aint no DOM like Rich and Poolraat now!)
Now Jim, why did you have to drag me into this discussion? I'm just sitting here minding my own business.......
Women's' suits are one of the major reasons I wear mirrored goggles and have learned to breath to either side......:agree: :D

Of course it's her choice. And it's a lot of money to walk away from. Unfortunately, it does nothing to alter the message our society, through the media, is sending to our daughters. Not that she needs to be concerned about that.
Gull I agree (and just messed up my post) but overall think it comes down to parenting.
Well said Matt! Though I'd rather get you drunk and order you a taxi rather than have you pose naked...if it's all the same!

There have already been some pretty racey pics of her in other magazines. Although she's on the thin side, she's pretty sexy. The timing seems a bit odd, right before an Olympic year. But maybe that's the point. I never read Playboy, :rofl: , so I can't comment on whether it still does curvy. Maybe playboy is caught up in the thin obsession like the rest of the nation.
Hey I have never "read" Playboy either. But yes I've had a subscription now for many years LOL!! :rofl:
And LBJ: What math nerds are you talking about? You mean girls don't throw themselves at math nerds?
And Rich: Whats this slaming on MLS stuff all about anyway. David Beckham is out of his prime but still plenty good enoug for MLS?? Wait for the next Champions League Finals o.k. Richie Boy!!....I hope an MLS team ends up trouncing Man United or Arsenal!!

Did you ever "come down" from you last bong hit in college?
Beckham is good he's not what he was. MLS is ok but it's not up to top flight European level yet. If you don't see that you need to watch more.
It's a bit like comparing a college team against yankees.
If the MLS was top class why are so many American players in the European leagues, as an advance scouting force for th Army in case of war?
Lastly I don't even think you're serious but I gave you an answer b/c you make it seem I said something anti-american.
Now be quiet and behave...Her Majety is in the US.
SORRY FOR THE TEMPORARY HIJACKING....I JUST COULDN'T RESIST AND IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN I PROMISE!! RIGHT LOL!
Who advanced further in the 2002 World Cup in Korea, The English Squad or the American Squad? Franz Beckenbauer even praised the US team by saying they deserved to win their quarter final match against Germany and were robbed of a penalty kick in the second half when a German defender deflected a ball out of the goal mouth with his shoulder....Franz also pointed out that the US squad greatly outplayed the German squad and that the US squad was amongst the very best in the world. How do you explain all of that? The reason why so many American players play in European Leagues as opposed to MLS is very simple to explain really....How's this for an explanation: $$$$$$$

So am I misbehaving yet? LOL! :rofl: We may disagree on this issue Rich but I still like you o.k.! And no I don't think your remarks are "anti-American"...just wrong thats all LOL!...Have a beer on me :drink:

How in hell do you wind up talking about futbol in a thread discussing Amanda Beard posing for Playboy Magazine? Off topic and NSR at the same time. That is two demerits.
