I'm with her

[Stinky The Clown]

iI have no issue with people dressing any way they wish.

I have many issues with an official governing body MANDATING that a women's sporting event should be a forced T&A show.



When the Norwegian beach handball team was threatened with a fine for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms, Pink offered to pay heir fine.

Good for her. And good for them!!!

BRAVA!

[Binkie The Clown]

1. That's absurd. Shorts are perfectly functional athletic wear for handball.

As long as the clothing they choose is not hazardous, nobody should tell them how they must dress.

24. The Olympics DO NOT REQUIRE BIKINIS!!!

I will post this for the 10th time due to the misinformation being given. The Olympics do not require bikinis.

It was an EU tournament official that issued the fine because that EU tournament required it.

In the Olympics women and men can wear shorts and T shirts if they desire. Any bikinis seen in the Olympics is the players choice, not a mandate.

[lindysalsagal]

29. Thanks for that. I was upset to see our women barely covered. And I'm no prude.

[rickyhall]

2. No the Olympics is into soft porn? I thought it was an athletic event.

[Boomerproud]

3. I watched about 3 minutes of beach volleyball yesterday.

I'm all for wearing whatever but geez-why bother wearing anything? I really understood the objectifying argument.

[rickyhall]

4. Ancient Greeks did it in the nude. Why not.

[wnylib]

5. So why aren't male atletes required to

wear to wear only a jock strap, or nothing at all?

Your comment overlooks the fact that the requirements are being made for women only.

[rickyhall]

6. I'm glad they don't but you're right.

[Jon King]

27. The Olympics do not require bikinis.

It was an EU tournament that issued the fine. Olympics have no bikini mandate anymore and have not for a while now.

[RussBLib]

7. from the folks that invented bukkake?

How absurd.

[LAS14]

8. Good for the team!!! This is absolutely absurd!!!!! nt

[Traildogbob]

9. If they do not want to wear

It, this is fine. I support Pink stepping up. But damn it, I have not heard “Any” females bitching about “men’s” diving jocks. Or men’s swim trunks. Where is the equal complaining here. With The last Supreme Court appointee, I feel sure you can stop the women’s bikini attire. Until ALL the athletes start saying no, stop watching if your offended. The Pillow guy has multiple channels on 24/7. I will keep watching these magnificent athletes that treat their bodies like a temple, not a Trump tower. Bitch about Walmart attire like tank tops, no bra with muffin top hanging over Daisy Duke shorts on women 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide, with Juicy across the ass.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Let me try this again, but real slow

The governing body of their sport decreed bikini bottoms.

The team chose not to wear bikinis and instead wore shorts.

The governing body said there would be a fine for not wearing the required uniform.

Pink said she would pay the fine.




See? No mention of Walmart, Trump tower, the Supreme Court, the pillow guy, or whatever else you were on about.

[BootinUp]

16. Button pusher, lol. Nt

[Traildogbob]

25. The dispute was NOT

About Olympics. “Real slow”, it was a Euro 2021 Tournamentc. Before these games. Had nothing to do with this Olympic committee demanding women wear that attire. If the Olympians would refuse to wear that, I would be 100 percent behind them. I assume you are horrified the men’s diving team are forced to wear their trunks. And men’s swimming team, women’s track and field, and men’s Lycra tights without support. I fully support the Norwegian women taking a stand. I have yet to hear any athletes doing the same in these as well as past Olympics. When they do, I would donate to fines enforced for their stance. I was so disgusted seeing butt cheeks on bikes in the women’s triathlon. The horror.

10. When humanity accepts nudity as norm, we will have reached the pinnacle of social evolution.

[Harker]

18. Right back at the beginning. n/t

[mjvpi]

11. Alpha women unite.

I’m happily married to one. We have raised and unleashed another on the world. And as a man who is totally in touch with his lizard/pig brain, this issue makes me wild. The Olympics should high lite the pentacle of the human condition, but doping and money-making and misogyny are making a whole different, probably more reality based, comment on the human condition.

[Blue_true]

13. I saw a picture of the men's team and the women's team side by side.

The problem was obvious. The women were forced to show a lot of body, with bikinis that they likely have to constantly pull out of their butt crack. The men wore tank tops and highly functional shorts that easily conformed to dynamic motions during competitions.

[niyad]

23. Pentacle? Could that be pinnacle?

30. Thanks, yes. Thanks

[betsuni]

12. I hate those beach volleyball bikini bottoms, they make me nervous. Hardly any fabric.

If the reason is ease of movement, why don't men wear them too? I don't get it. Ballet dancers do a million times more difficult movements but in tights and leotards or costumes, despite the sweat. I really think having everything tucked in is better.

[dhol82]

15. I get annoyed because the men can wear long shorts. Only the women have actual measurements

for their bikini bottoms.
Outrageous!

[Blue_true]

17. It goes back to the origins of the beachball competitions.

It was all about sexual indicators, men with broad bare chests and women in cloths that barely covered their private parts. The origins were grossly sexist, and governing bodies simply have not caught up.

The German Women’s Gymnastics team used full body leotards in Tokyo. Don’t know whether they will wear them in all their events. The one piece garment looked freaking awesome.

[betsuni]

19. Thanks.

Really glad to hear about the full body leotards! Things should be tucked in.

[Blue_true]

20. I agree. The German uniforms looked much better than anything that is being

routinely worn now.

21. That's a magnificent photo of Pink, BTW.

26. The Olympics DO NOT REQUIRE BIKINIS!!!

Not sure why some insist on posting misinformation. There is no bikini mandate in the Olympics anymore. Teams can decide what to wear, shorts and T shirts are perfectly fine for both men and women teams.

It was an EU tournament official that issued that fine because that tournament had that horrible requirement.

But the Olympics no longer have the mandate and have not for multiple Olympics now.

[Traildogbob]

28. Bravo to you

Posted this above. Tired of the bitching about Olympic committee sexist. These athletes are not trying to change the attire they compete in. Are the men’s diving team upset, are women complaining about them. When the athletes say no, I stand with them. They are not. If it’s offensive, use the damn remote. Their body, their choice. When it’s not, I will support their stance. Until then I am enjoying the hell out of the games and no political rage. These athletes are amazing, a life time of work and proud of the bodies. These are not bridesmaids games.
