I will be honest the sports media as whole (myself included) tend to focus too much on the negative figures in the sports world and not enough on the positive role models out there like Candace Parker.

 

ESPN the Magazine is doing something that I think is both innovative and groundbreaking. By putting a very beautiful and very pregnant Candace Parker on their latest issue they have become the first men's sports magazine to do such a thing. I commend them for thinking outside of the box and doing something a lot of men's magazine would see as taboo.
