    They are reading it out of their own free choice.
    Islam is practiced by a minority in the US, and no doubt they play sports too. Hence it appears in SI.
    Bit weird to think SI is there to appease only the white christian supremacists who don't like minorities.

    Not as weird as SI mainstreaming Sharia law.

    "sharia law" with make up and face not covered. And last time I checked, the white supremacist ideals of not wanting anything to do with minorities,.... "not so popular". They indeed rather see a nice Muslim. Sucks to be a white nationalist these days.

    It was recently invented in 2007 by Aheda Zanetti, a Lebanese-born Australian fashion designer for Muslim women. Burqini and Burkini are registered trademarks owned by Zanetti's company, which may have paid commissions to Sports Illustrated to promote their products. The 'burkini' cannot be accepted as the standard swimsuit outside Australia as it has never been worn by Muslim women in the Arab world.

    What does that have to do with "Christians voting for Adolf...and Obama"? Adolf had high approval ratings too. Those polls also said Hillary was going to win.

    Exactly. If anyone here doesn't want to see photos of women in that type of garment, don't look. Contrary to the beliefs of some right wingers here, nobody is forcing them to do so

    I pretty much did. When leftist are in charge of creating the polls, it just becomes propaganda and really doesn't mean anything.
