Which white American athletes are more deserving of more covers that the top four?

With the sheer amount of playoff series wins and championship trophies and rings Michael, Magic, and Kareem have led their teams to over the years (each or which led to those numerous), and with the global popularity and story of Muhammad Ali, who else, white OR black, would have had a legitimate chance of cracking the top 4?

I suppose Williams will get another SI cover from this.  The Williams sisters have appeared on 5 covers.  In case you're wondering about Federer? He has been featured on Zero.
How many covers do you think Federer has on the top Swiss sports weekly/monthly? More the Williams sisters? I'd assume so.

Do you think the reason Federer's been on more Swiss covers is because the Williams sisters are black? Or is it because Roger's FROM SWITZERLAND, AND REPRESENTS SWITZERLAND?

So you believe that if Tiger Woods was from France or Nigeria he would never appear on the cover of SI and would receive only a tiny fraction of the coverage that he does now in the U.S.? How about if Federer was black and was from Switzerland? Do you think SI might deem him worthy of at least one cover story then? What dream world are you living in? It's one thing to support the status quo, quite another to pretend it doesn't exist.

Well, let's start with Joe Montana, greatest player ever at the premiere position in football, four time champion. Then maybe Roger Clemens, perhaps the greatest pitcher in baseball history with a decades long storied career. John Stockton, greatest point guard in NBA history...

Just three to get going.

Don't be ridiculous. Yeah Federer is going to get more exposure in Switzerland than any comparable American because he is one of the few premiere athletes in a small country. The American media, on the other hand, has a bevy of athletes that they could choose to push and the fact that they relentlessly promote an obviously hormone built freak like Serena has more to do with her being black than anything.

If you don't think so, just look at what happened to Steve Nash. Clearly the best point guard in the NBA, but he finished fourth in voting for guards in the Western Conference. Do you think maybe it's because he doesn't get the hype, the magazine coverage, and the endorsements like other, lesser players do? Oh, it must be because he's Canadian

The soccer player Pele managed to make the cover.He was definitely not American, but he was B-L-A-C-K.

If Tiger was a foreign athlete, and didn't have the Nike machine backing, he wouldn't get a fraction of the coverage he does. David Beckham and Ronaldinho are practically revered as Gods in the most popular sport on earth, and an overwhelming majority of Americans couldn't pick them out of a line-up at GUNPOINT.. because they're not American.

I wouldn't care if Roger Federer was black, purple, green, orange, or blue.. American media never deifies foreign athletes unless/until they come here.

No, it's because very few Americans are interested in soccer. Bart's right that Pele was pushed on American sports fans for many years, to no avail. We also had the Freddy Adu phenomenon a few years ago. The interest in soccer has never been there.


And yes,the U.S. corporate media is strategically xenophobic despite the globalist nature of the U.S. Empire, but again, you have to be living in a dream world to think that Tiger Woods would never make the cover of Sports Illustrated if he wasn't American, or that Federer would be ignored the way he is were he black and not American.Edited by: Don Wassall

Sports Illustrated is an event's driven weekly. Jordan, Magic, and Kareem play 82 game season, 7 month seasons.. plus another 20 to 30 post-season games. There's inherently gonna be more opportunities for basketball players to shine, intra-week, and make the covers than just about every other sport.

Michael had repeat 3-peats. Annual 4 round of playoffs. Five full season MVP's. Six Championship series MVP's. He had intra-season scoring explosions. He had the Nike machine. He had his foray into baseball. He had 3 retirements, and 2 comebacks. Magic and Kareem were almost in the same boat.

Joe Montana only played once a week for 4 or 5 months. He played a total of 192 season games. How would he possibly get more opportunities than upper echelon basketball players who do that in 2 years, much less crack the top 4? How many did he make, anyway?

How many rings does Roger Clemens have? One in college, one in the pros? He's a great pitcher, several Cy Youngs, but could he possibly generate 20+ covers? Are you kidding? Even if he DID do well the day he pitched, how do we know Canseco didnt crush 2 homers and made the cover, or Wade Boggs or Derek Jeter went 5 for 5 and made it? A guy who pitches 35 games a year doesn't have the number of opportunities.

John Stockton isn't better than Magic Johnson, but that's besides the point. Does he even have a SINGLE ring? I mean, come on. Larry Bird has 3 rings and 3 MVP's. That's why he made 16 covers.Immortal, iconic athletes, ESPECIALLY BASKETBALL PLAYERS, make the cover. John Stockton's a great player but championships cement your legacy.

Yeah, right. Keep dreaming. I guess the 8 major titles have nothing to do with her popularity. How pathetic. I can't stand f'ing crybabies. You're so programmed to believe your ignorant bullsh*t that you can't give a worthy fellow American her due. I don't care what color she or ANY superstar is. To claw your way to the top in ANY sport or gainful profession is worthy of recognition.

It's because the All-Star game is a no-defense, dunktacular exhibition. The fans don't want to see layups. They don't want to see free throws. They want to see Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady, the two most explosive guards in the west, DUNKING. PERIOD.

STOP. CRYING.

He came the the U.S. and played for the New York Cosmos. When David Beckham comes and plays for the L.A. Galaxy, I have no doubt he'll blow up. And when he makes the SI cover, our "Caste" brethren can have one big circle jerk around the issue.

By the way, who's on the cover this week? Tony Dungy? Lovie Smith? Any "affalete" you guys piss on yourselves about, incessantly? No.. Peyton Manning! Do you think they're crying in their beers about that over that on any of the black boards?

Isn't Peyton the face of the NFL? Isn't he the highest paid? Salary & endorsement-wise?

Did you know that undefeated HWC Rocky Marciano made the cover a grand total of ..... one time? That is 36 fewer timesthan Ali! But of course he recited childish poems, dodged the draft, and was a racist Black Muslim, so that explains why.

Let's see, white football players don't get many covers because they don't play enough games. White baseball players like Clemens don't get many covers because they're not interesting enough. Hockey players play the same amount of games as basketball players, but they don't get covers because, well, they're hockey players. It somehow works out just right for black basketball players. Amazing.


FSU, you're more intelligent than most of the trolls we've had, but you're getting abusive not to mention boring. I guess the latter quality makes you white, because if you were black, well you'd be gifted with charisma and we'd all be on pins and needles waiting for your next post. . .

Ali was featurerd several times a year during his career and make the cover many times after. The Rock did retire in 56, but only appeared once during his reign and NEVER graced the cover after retirement.

Gee, I would hope that Peyton manning might make the cover. He's only
been the bet quarterback in the NFL for the last decade and is going to the
Super Bowl. He should be the higest paid and have the most endorsements.
he deserves them. That's what the whole site is about. I hope he wins so
he'll be on the cover again, too.

You'd think Mickey Mantle would be in the top 5, Stan Musial, Warren Spahn, Johnny Unitas , Bart Starr, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Roger Staubach, John Elway, Mike Schmidt, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor, Raymond Berry, Bob Lilly, Brooks Robinson, Jim Palmer,naming a few.

 I watched that match.  Once again Serena manages to barely hang on and win.


Hingis against Clijsters is a great matchup.  Maria Sharapova plays yet another up and coming Russian, Anna Chakvetadze. 


Here's a few pics of Anna:

Both are BEAUTIFUL WHITE women!!!

Now, I am glad Serena is back...fat ass and all. The Williams sistas do add excitment to the game. However, I don't think it will be easy for either Serena or Penus (I mean Venus). Their hey day has certainly passed.Edited by: SeaJim

Patrick McEnroe deserves a mention for his willingness not to play along with ESPN's Chris Fowler. The Black Frenchmen (?) Gael Monfils had a good win in the first round over Marcos Baghdatis. Monfils appears to be the prototype specimen that certain people are calling for to save US tennis. Fowler was ready to proclaim Monfils the most athletic on the tour and he ask McEnroe if that was so. To his credit Patrick without hesitation said no. Fowler, feeling rejected, had to ask who would be in that category. McEnroe promptly replied Roger Federer. Good job on this account Patrick. Well done.

Don't count on it.One of the things I've always noticed,is for any of the Grand Slam tourneys,they're always ranked way down the top ten,or even twenty.I've always wondered why,with all the titles they've won.I really believe Big Baby Dad-day deliberately has them ranked lower,as a way ofmaking the other White players think "well,if they're that low,they're probably not as good as before.Something must be wrong.",so they'll take them for granted more. And they just keep getting away with,again and again,and no one in the WTA will call his/their bluff.

So,they might be past their peak,but it still doesn't mean We can take for granted,that the Whites will resume rightfully winning in what We created,and have full rights to win at,and fully persecute and DAMN all non-Whites who WILL soil and filthy it by screaming racism,while being 100 times more racist than Whites at it,and want to drag it down into their pathological fever swamp of savagery,and turn it into the NBA, no matter how much backing they get from their Friends-In-High-Places,and protect it from every one of them.Edited by: Weltner
