Less White People, More Football


On the Dolores Blog are some interesting graphs highlighting what's been on the covers of Sports Illustrated magazines since 1954. Graphs include...

"Race on Sports Illustrated Covers"
Blacks began getting more coverage than whites in the mid-80s and hasn't looked back.

"Sports on Sports Illustrated Covers"
Football is soaring while basketball continues a downward trend.

If you're an Asian boxer reading this - good luck on getting that SI cover shot. Sorry.

Also, recently on Mental Floss - Sports Illustrated Firsts.
