It's somewhat surprising that a tradition like the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue continues to exist in 2022 -- hell, we're always taken aback by news that a legacy publication still mails out physical copies -- but what's not the least bit shocking is the annual controversy surrounding the cover art.
To their credit, the editors of SI have attempted to take the swimsuit issue in a more inclusive, body-positive direction, and apparently, some people are upset that this year's choices didn't perfectly reflect their own taste in wank material.
