Amanda Beard to Pose Nude In Playboy

Good for her. So many sports are marginalized in favor of the "big three"....which is quickly becoming the "big two" as the NBA slowly dies, Olympic athletes should cash in when and if they can. I didn't mind when Kurt Angle decided to join the pro-wrestling circuit. He'd served his country for years, worked tirelessy at a sport that is ignored 99% of the time, and deserved to earn a living.

As for what kind of message it sends to young girls, it probably sends an accurate one: if you are good looking, athletic, and even moderately famous, men will want to see you naked. And will pay for it.
