The magazine published articles by famed writers such as William Faulkner, Robert Frost, John Steinbeck, and John Updike. In addition, the annual<em> Sports Illustrated Swimsuit<\/em> issue was famous for featuring beautiful women wearing swimwear in various locales around the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Times Have Changed<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For decades, <em>Sports Illustrated<\/em> was owned by Time Inc. but was sold in 2018. After a few sales, the publishing rights were acquired by Maven Inc. (later renamed The Arena Group). <em>Sports Illustrated<\/em> had mass layoffs. The business philosophy shifted away from journalists and more toward a strategy that new CEO Russ Levinsohn called \u201cgravitas with scale\u201d &#8211; a model based in part on a network of freelancers, independent contractors, bloggers, and contributors. Standards were lowered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fake Women<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In 2021, <em>Sports Illustrated<\/em> put a fake woman (a biological man dressed as a woman) on the cover of its swimsuit issue. &#8220;I dedicate this cover to all ballroom femme queens past, present, and future,&#8221; trans person Leyna Bloom wrote on Instagram.
