1. Yes, it always has been.

If SI were to live up to its name it would feature women athletes, not cheesecake.

2. Oh, there's women in it? I just looked at the swimsuits :-)

3. I just read the articles. nt

4. Yes because the one place you would expect to see women athletes not models

is "Sports" Illustrated. It's not like there is a shortage of women athletes...find some attractive women athletes not models to put on the cover.

6. Conceptually? No. In practice? Yes.

7. Yes.

The swimsuit issue has nothing to do with athleticism. It has to do with T&A and selling magazines.
