Irvin has a dead, gay brother. It's obvious why he did this cover and article. There is no secret here. Looking deeper than is blatantly obvious is muckraking horsesh*t. He supports his brother, his brother's ideals and is looking to help promote tolerance for a culture that is pretty rabidly anti-gay. The reasons for putting up such a provocative picture on the cover should really be obvious if you have any semblance of a brain. Covers pay more money and make a much bigger impact. Unless Irvin says he is gay in the magazine, which while supporting his brother's lifestyle would be pretty much the perfect time; he is simply supporting his family and a cause. The greenbacks didn't hurt either. Why is this any different than half naked women or men being on the covers of other magazines? The only reason would be the support aspect coupled with the cause.
Ben Roethlisberger is constantly touted in the NFL as one of the best quarterbacks. Him engaging in his negative behavior was rectified at least some degree by what probably amounts to a payout and a bunch of deserved bad publicity. It hasn't changed how sportscasters tout him, in fact he is pretty overrated. Your example is poor and your claim that another poster who is black would blast Ben for being white is absurd. Ben should have been blasted as was Irvin when they did their nonsense. I am not sure how molesting, getting drunkenly out of control and some form of abuse on women is ever called "going a little crazy" but that's your statement not mine. Try progression friend its a lot less taxing than racism and you look much better in the long run.
