On Tuesday morning,porn video | Adult Movies Online Sports Illustratedunveiled the magazine's cover for the week of Oct. 2, 2017. And though the cover professes a focus on unity in sports, it has the internet divided.

Under the banner "A Nation Divided, Sports United," the cover features prominent pro athletes — including rivals LeBron James (who called the president a "bum" earlier this week) and Steph Curry (who rejected the president's White House invite) — as well as much-maligned NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, and Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, all locking arms.
SEE ALSO: The first NFL game of Sept. 24 started with a powerful, unprecedented protestThe cover story will reportedly focus on the sports world's reaction to the president's comments calling for the firing of NFL athletes who "take a knee" during the national anthem — namely, the widespread protests by NFL players, the twitter reactions by James and other NBA stars, and other forms of protest, such as the first instance of taking a knee in the MLB.
On social media, some praised the cover for making a strong show of unity in response to the president's divisive comments.

But others weren't so thrilled, particularly over the omission of former San Francisco 49ers quarter Colin Kaepernick, whose protests during the 2016 season were the impetus for the entire debate presently unfolding.

Kaepernick began protesting police violence against people of color in 2016 by sitting — and later kneeling — during the national anthem. He has since been unable to secure a job after entering into free agency, which many people think is linked to his protesting, and constitutes a form of blackballing.
SEE ALSO: A year after Colin Kaepernick's first protest, his absence looms larger than everNevertheless, athletes across the NFL began to follow his example, and Kaepernick's movement ballooned after the president described him and any fellow athlete-protesters as a "son of a bitch" during a speech in Alabama.
Given Kaepernick's influence on the movement, and the repercussions he may have suffered as a result, his absence on the Sports Illustratedcover dedicated to "unity" is especially conspicuous.

Others questioned the inclusion of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Goodell said that he was "proud" of the NFL players for their united reaction to President Trump's statement and tweets.
He has also recently been attending meetings and forums with NFL players interested in getting the league more involved in social justice issues such as police violence.

However, Goodell is a widely criticized figure in the NFL, particularly around race and social justice issues.
Tasked with trying to clean up the league's image, Goodell instituted harsh penalties for misconduct. But some see him as too punitive toward athletes who are found to have used drugs, and too forgiving for infractions such as violence against women (as in the case of Ray Rice) and cheating by white players and coaches (as in the case of the New England Patriots' "Deflategate").
Goodell also had a lukewarm response to Kaepernick's initial protests. And now, his focus on "unity," instead of the issue of institutional violence against black people that Kaepernick was attempting to draw attention to in the first place, could be seen as a whitewashing of the protest's original intent.
Many take Goodell's inclusion on the cover, over Kaepernick's, as giving credit where credit is notdue — it has the effect of giving a wealthy white man disproportionate kudos and visibility for a movement started by people of color, particularly one who is now unable to get a job.
