A very sexy photo of supermodel Hannah Davis graces the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Scantily clad women have appeared in the issue and its coveted cover for decades, but this year's photo appears to be generating more buzz than usual. Davis, 24, girlfriend of former NY Yankee Derek Jeter, is pulling her bikini bottom down to right above her private area. The very revealing photo was taken on a farm in Tennessee. Criticism of the cover photo has ranged from calling it "soft porn" to "offensive." But not everyone agrees. Good Day New York asked former Sports Illustrated for Women cover girl and volleyball champion Gabrielle Reece to weigh in. “You know what SI for women is going to be," said Reece. "I have three daughters so these are all conversations that we have in our house. This is a mature woman who has made a decision. When you sign up and you get the job you know what you're doing. But is it provocative? Yes, it's for men.” The issue hits the Internet on Feb. 9. SI posted a photo of the cover to its Twitter page on Wednesday.
