Lindsey Vonn Controversy Continues

The controversy that has had the web in a stir recently has now been extended to The Seattle Times and the Boston Globe.

This week, Vonn is on the cover of Ski Magazine, with the following quote from the publishers on the mag's Facebook page:

Vonn in action

For point of reference, the Lindsey Vonn Sports Illustrated cover is here:

Snow bunny?

Many comments online have cited SI's corresponding Sidney Crosby cover as the same thing as doing the same thing as Vonn's cover.  I highly disagree, but here is the corresponding SI cover for Canada is here:

His helmet is off, but the focus of the shot is on his face

Thoughts, anyone?
