The current cover of Sports Illustrated is generating chatter because of a case that is before the Supreme Court in the USA.
“The sports magazine promoted an article on its Twitter account penned by Greg Bishop that discussed the case involving high school football coach Joe Kennedy’s right to pray on the field after a game. Although the case has yet to be ruled on, Sports Illustrated warned that a ruling in favor of Kennedy would be “an erosion of a bedrock of American democracy.”
“SCOTUS will soon rule on the case of a public school football coach who wants to pray on-field after games. @GregBishopSI on Joe Kennedy, the machine backing him and the expected result: a win for Kennedy and an erosion of a bedrock of American democracy,” the post read.
It will be interesting to see if this cover sells…as controversial covers generally generates free promotion and therefore interest. It will also be interesting to see how the court rules and if democracy is indeed “eroded” if the outcome swings one way or the other.
