ESPN is releasing its first issue of the magazine Body Issues with Serena Williams striking a nearly nude pose on the cover. In the photo Serena is nude covering her breasts with one hand while covering her private parts with the other. According to the magazines Editor and Chief Gary Belsky, “The athletes are a part of the bodies we want section essentially our version of the best bodies in sports.”

What this shows is that like in life sex plays a dominant role in world of sports. With athletes now being more than just a great athlete, instead they are becoming sex symbols. This can be seen by looking no further than the Serena Williams photographs, why else would she agree to have her picture taken in such a position? She obviously has fame, notoriety as well as wealth the only logical explanation is to be seen as something beyond the world of sports.
