Ville Magazine cover featuring Seattle Sounders nominated by American Society of Magazine Editors for 2017 Readers' Choice Award

It looks like the cover of Ville Magazine featuring former Seattle Sounders' Tyrone Mears, Nelson Valdez and Zach Scott has caught the attention of more than just comedian Leslie Jones.

The American Society of Magazine Editors on Tuesday released its top covers of 2016, with the Health and Fitness issue of local publication Ville Magazine among the nominees for the ASME Readers' Choice Awards in the Best Sports and Fitness category. The May/June issue featured Sounders players Nelson Valdez, Tyrone Mears and Zach Scott nude on the cover (minus the soccer balls) and the three players discussed their fitness regiments on the pages inside.
