Well, ESPN Body issue is extremely successful, so there must be an audience for female athletes. But there have also been feminist driven discussions about showing nude female athletes beeing sexist. I often read in the press, that female athletes should convince the audience through their accomplishments rather than their bodies. (Nobody seems to have the same problem when it comes to nude male athletes, notorious double standard.)
But maybe this discussion makes female athletes shy away from posing naked. Itīs a shame but itīs zeitgeist.
