Why Aren’t US Athletes This Awesome?

Cricket player Jimmy Anderson is the latest heterosexual athlete to strip in support of gay men, adding to a list that includes Ben Cohen, Nick Youngquest and other attractive people we wish we could boning right now. The cutest part? His wife encouraged him to do it!

Then again, the real cutest part is his delicious ass! Anderson shows it off twice in the photo spread for Attitude magazine, and we’re loving every minute of it. He also takes a moment to talk about homophobia in the sports world…

“If there are any gay cricketers, they should feel confident enough to come out,” he told the magazine. “Because I don’t think there is homophobia in cricket. Football fans can be quite abusive and quite harsh, and cricket fans can be like that sometimes, but they are generally quite placid and there to watch the game and support their team.”

Well said! Now when are US athletes going to take their clothes off and show some appreciation for their gay fans? I can think of a few football players who I’d love to see naked! Who would be on your list of athletes you’d love to see without their clothes?

– Dewitt

  1. Not sure if the clothed ones are a bonus! the issue has some other nice shots of him bare chested – the Daily telegraph paper had a big full page article in its sports section about the guy doing the spread in a gay magazine – was supportive and good to see it in the actual sport section where it will confront the people who need to be challenged on their views.

  2. Well ESPN magazine had the body issue last year and it featured nude male and female athletes and it was HOT. They are supposed to do another one.

  3. Why aren’t american athletes this awesome ? Really ? The only thing more rediculous than a professional athelete becoming a “pin up girl” is a pathetically fem gay porn star trying desperately to sell himself as a real athlete.

  4. There are a few male college athletes who have posed nude but I would like to see more professionals; some of them have the greatest bodies I have ever seen 😉

  5. @Will: I think the “why aren’t American athletes this awesome?” question was less about the nude photos, and more about the “If there are any gay [athletes], they should feel confident enough to come out” quote.

    But then, this *is* Dewitt we’re talking about here…

  6. Tom Brady would be top on my list of Atheletes to get naked. I’d also like to see some WWe Wrestlers naked. Randy Orton, John Cena, Evan Bourne, Ted Dibiase Jr., Cody Rhodes, etc.

  7. hola ese jugadorrr esta guapissssiiiimo y lo mejor los futbolistas de por si tienen un cuerpo deseable ,, gracais

  8. kk, Seems you are the one who needs to get a life if all you can do is read comments posted and only come up with a statement like that. If you don’t like the blog, go somewhere else.. Like “Queens who don’t have anything else to do but call others morons” or some site like that.
