I had to laugh when the Norwegian women's Beach volleyball team was fined for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms. You know in this day and age of awareness of exploitation of women could any fine be more tone deaf?? IOC in a nutshell..
My sister forwarded this FB post to me . . . The German women’s gymnastics team is supposed to be wearing long legged unitards to make a point, too.

I need someone to explain human physiology to me. Why is it that wom*n can only perform their best athletic feats damned near nekkid while m*n can break world records practically dressed in a suit of armor?
Because from the layperson's perspective, it would seem to me that all athletes would do better with MOST of their ass cheeks INSIDE the designated uniform. I don't know about y'all, but pulling my shorts ALL the way out of the crack of my ass every three steps tends to reduce my best time doing ANYTHING.
Hell, just for the sake of costs, it would seem cheaper to supply wom*n volleyball players with adult-sized shorts rather than refill the sand pit each morning, because we all know where most of that sand ends up by match end. And needless to say, if a grown ass m*n can do the splits while wearing footie pajamas, we can put some shorts on the G*RLS competing in gymnastics.
Of course, I suspect that these wardrobe decisions are made with an eye towards enticing men into watching women's sports, but now that we have the Innanet, how is this supposed to work? A man is going to watch three HOURS of a wom*n's volleyball match just to see the occasional cheek-slip when he can visit allthebooty-dot-com and still have 2 hours and 57 minutes to watch the US m*n’s basketball game against Angola? That's not good marketing (or time management)!
Seriously, how is a wom*n running faster than you can ride a bike or skate not interesting enough on its own? How is a wom*n using a flimsy ass pole to vault herself a height equal to the roof of your house not worth a "peek," even if you don't get to see her Fallopian tubes in the process?
And is this what we are going to do to shrink the educational gap in this country? Are we now going to have our school teachers dressed like they are in a Van Halen video to get the b*y students to start paying attention? And if so, is it permissible to go back to night school for your GED even if you already have a college degree? #askingforafriend
Seriously, it should be possible for wom*n to be able to display their TALENTS ... and just their talents ... for three weeks every four years. After all, it's not like we have to start listening to their IDEAS or anything.
