Anna Hall and Gabby Thomas in SI swimsuit issue (pics)

Wow. I didn't think SI even exists anymore. Are they online only??

It’s super weird to equate the world’s greatness with something as shallow as sex appeal of a couple women. There was never any doubt that women could be elite athletes and be beautiful.

We know you “appreciate both are willing to pose in bathing suits and show off their bodies”. It doesn’t add anything to their accomplishments, rather it just dilutes their image with a bit of trashiness.

Anna Hall is so hot

Hall is hot. Your username is not.

Lighten’ up, Francis.

Is this pic making fun of S.I. or women in general? I think it's the latter.

Valby, Sam Bush and McArthur w/o tattoos are way better in swimsuits

Both are attractive women, but is Gabby’s hat like a crocheted cowboy hat? You know it costs like $300.

Any PR is good PR for T&F. Yes, even Fred Kerley’s arrests.

Maybe SI wants to feature people who are good at their jobs? (Olympic medalists)

These women are the peak of their athletic and physical beauty. Why not celebrate instead of shaming them? Plus, every HS trackhead needs a poster on their wall! (bless you Farrah Fawcett sigh)

WTF, you people are so freakingly bigoted. so darn racist it oozes out of you like slime on a kid's backpack

There is no such thing as “athletic beauty”, just athleticism and physical beauty. There is nothing to “celebrate” here other than sex appeal. I’m not sure even that’s worthy of celebration because it’s so common. There are so many hot women out there.

It was a tough choice between the two but I am going with Anna.

Of course its sex appeal that is selling the SI Swimsuit edition. What is wrong with that? You probably hate loaded nacho plates too. Stop being a party pooper and behold these beautiful ladies.

Anna and Gabby are both beautiful women but ... the swimsuit really accentuates the lack of any boobs at all.

Just imagine if the issue had men in speedos and you were one of them. It would accentuate your lack of a dick.
