Delaney: Take the slippers, return the swimsuit
Ah, winter!
The post-holiday blues are easily soothed with sports on TV, fuzzy slippers, an overstuffed chair and.....the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition due out next month. I guess fuzzy slippers are optional there.
The annual glossy comes with an an out: subscribers not wanting the swimsuit issue can call 800-528-5000, tell SI they don't want the issue and SI will extend the subscription.
Take the extension, decline the swimsuit edition. It's passe and blantant sexism. In an age of equality, why doesn't SI publish a men's edition?

I think if they included men 'swimmers' in the Swimsuit Issue then you'd have two classes of folks passing on that issue .. men whose wives told them to pass on the issue and men don't want a magazine in their bathroom featuring other men in speedos.
My guess is that would be a very good week to be a mailman .. I mean person.
By the way, you usually write (well) about local high school athletes .. what's up with this ditty, trying to stir the pot?
