The controversial April Vogue Magazine Issue is finally out, with the cover that has everyone talking. Just like it was announced: our King James standing right next to top model Gisele Bündchen.
As said before, they made the Cover of Vogue because this was an issue dedicated to shape and “perfect fit”. The funny thing is that many people seem to be upset, but for different reasons. The cover, as you can see, shows an angry king-kong like LeBron holding the poor lady in danger, Gisele. It seems it looks too racist because of the angry, dangerous black man stereotype. And if you take a close look at it, you’ll probably see that too:
However, what really upsets me is the fact that King James apperars on the cover of a Fashion magazine and not even for his great performance as one of the best players in the NBA right now. He looks like he’s there selling tips to lose weight or something like that. With Gisele on the side, it looks like “this is the couple everybody should be trying to be”.
I prefer to see LeBron on his natural habitat, actually using his basketball for something good and getting “woes” from the crowd for his non-stop scoring and his amazing skills. Now that’s some inspiration! He inspires me to place my bets based on his brilliant play.
