"Seldom does a cover come together at the perfect time, in such a way as to symbolize the whole story. Sam had come out—the first professional football player to do so—and the hysteria had prompted a backlash. The shoot happened first, and the interview subsequently, giving us a perfect snapshot of a man whose sexuality had come to define his every move in the eyes of the media. The cover image showed Sam in all his magnificence and vulnerability, and so we used just his draft pick number as a head, to sum up Sam’s historical significance."

I really like this cover because I really like how they did the lighting. I also really like the background. Some cool things they did was make the man fade into the background. The title is placed really well. Another cool thing is the other words on the cover look like he has it tattooed on.
