Sports Illustrated dropped their latest issue on Wednesday, which normally doesn’t raise much discussion in 2015. This issue, however, features Ronda Rousey on the cover and anoints her as the “World’s Most Dominant Athlete.”
This set off an expected chain reaction on social media. People criticized Rousey’s designation as the world’s most dominant athlete. Other people pushed back, pointing to her undefeated record and quick finishes. Other people wrote about how she isn’t the most dominant athlete in the world, but it doesn’t matter.
There was another vocal contingent asking why we couldn’t just celebrate Rousey and the SI cover.
