Good for her....I guess.

Im surprised it took this long for this to pop up on this board

Well, since she is no longer one of the "3 to see" in WBB, she must find a way to be seen. This works.

When they said "Diggins in suit" i thought it was "Diggins insult" and was just like all the other posts about her on the 'Yard.

Ho-hum.

She looks great, but I'm surprised she isn't wearing Leprechaun green.

I'm just glad the original poster has only one p in his name.

Made me look.

Maybe this is a Jay-Z influenced move...

Of course it's the fish. But my eye saw your number and the subject of the post and well........

I had to disagree about athletes posing for the swim suit edition. OK, they look like babes, but I really try to always talk about the players with 100% respect. Don't want to refer to any of them on this board as babes. Seems very demeaning. As a guy, I had to think about this for a while until the answer became self-evident.

And there goes lunch. Thanks.

Not sure I see much difference in this and those posing nude in The Body issue....except that those in The Body issue are...nude.

I'm sure you didn't mean it this way, but what came out of your post is that if a woman is a babe, you're less likely to speak about her with respect. Not sure why a woman needs to be unattractive to earn respect. This is nothing new or unique to you, btw, it's just something that has always annoyed me.

The reclining pose for that picture looks an awful lot like the end result of a flop -- Muffet's coaching keeps on paying dividends.

I guess it's an Object type of thing. I feel uncomfortable ogling her female sexual attributes after respecting her for who and what she is.
It's the old argument where the women are not looked at like people, but as a basis for fantasies inconsistent with them as individuals. I don't want men dating my daughter as a sexual object, but as peers looking to develop mutual respect.

I understand human nature as much as the next person, but as a man looking at a woman acting sexual and exposing her sexual attributes I simply do not think of her as the great athlete she is.

Quite frankly, if a woman poses in a bikini like that I don't see anything wrong with looking at her as a sex object. Bid deal, she's hot. But I'm not sure how that carries over with not respecting her or any other woman.

Maybe that's what I'm getting at. I'm old school and I have a little girl. I no longer respect Skylar Diggins. She's cheapened the sport for me. Sorry, but that's what the picture did for me. Isn't this the subject of this thread? If not I apologize.

I wonder if you feel that Diana Taurasi cheapened the game after posing for ESPN's The Body issue. The women have fantastic figures and they're rightfully proud of them. If they want to show them, I have no beef with it as no one is exploiting them. Context is everything.

Does the same go for Swin Cash?
