EVERY YEAR, ESPN’S Body Issue is mocked for being low-brow smut masquerading as high-brow art.
ESPN is being disingenuous, many people argue, selling soft-core porn but being too high and mighty to call it porn.
There’s definitely some truth to that, especially when they publish a photo of Rob Gronkowski wearing a candy necklace and a football pinata over his crotch.
But the reality is that each Body Issue includes a solid number of legitimately interesting, artistic photos that have value beyond the mere nakedness of the athletes.
While some of the magazine may exist purely as eye candy, photos like these show that the Body Issue isn’t all porn.
