You were so wrong. You don’t know us!

Today I stumbled across another article that very well could have been written by any of us Swim Aids. We are still very much “Team Beard”, so it’s nice to see another journalist share our point of view. To be honest, there are more that share our view than those who do not. Great minds think alike.

In any case, I’d like to quote a few passages in the feature:

There’s not a reason in the world to feel guilty about looking at attractive athletes and admiring their beauty and fitness in addition to their sports accomplishments.

Beard is fit, healthy and attractive. She showcased the human body, though not all of it.

When Maria Sharapova wears a tennis skirt on the court or swimsuit off it, it’s not demeaning. Same goes for Danica Patrick - who looks gorgeous in a head-to-toe race-car suit.

It’s not degrading. And it certainly doesn’t make anyone a bad role model. Did a few photos lessen Beard’s athletic accomplishments in the pool?

Absolutely not.

Beard isn’t a Playboy centerfold lookalike. It’s her athletic accomplishments that help make an otherwise pretty girl-next-door ultra sexy.

Success is sexy, isn’t it?

Pundits say Beard shouldn’t have posed in Playboy because she’s a role model. But what kind of parent would allow their child to read Playboy? Or leave a copy lying around?

PREACH!
