"The female Olympic athletes were usually made to wear a one piece or a top and briefs, with the International Olympic Committee even mandating how short they were, with official rules stating they could not be more than 7cm on the sides.
Meanwhile, male beach volleyball players were made to a tank top and shorts, with FIVB rules stating: "For all athletes the bottom of the shorts must be a minimum of 10 cm above the top of the knee cap.""
I see men and women in comfortable shorts playing volleyball ag the beach. I'd think the thong-brief would ride up too much making it difficult for the players to concentrate on the game.
Double standard? The women switched to biker shorts, not board shorts like the men.
Physical beauty is part of the draw for spectator sports. We accentuate it differently because we are different. Men wear tank tops because they show off the guns. Women wear form-fitting stuff because it accentuates the hips.
Crying about "misogyny" is an easy way to get attention from NBC.
Those thong-briefs were revealing buttocks, not only hips. Uniform rules likely made by horny middle-aged men.
Athletes are there to win gold medals. Not look pretty. They should be physically comfortable in order to give their best performance rather than repeatedly addressing a wedgy from a poorly designed thong-brief.
NBC isn't the one making the rules. It was the International Olympic Committee.
thank you, I also know homosexuals who think this is madness and doesn't represent them, but their voices are never heard. it's the loud perpetually offended people who get heard and wind up influencing these disgusting shows
Lance isnβt homosexual, he or she says whatever they feel like gets them off the hook to say whatever they want. Theyβve claimed to be a woman, a gay man, a black guy. Itβs really embarrassing.
You gonna give your thoughts on the not family-friendly opening now that you know about it, βRockβ?
Did you already forget that you told jk90us to watch porn instead of admiring pretty lady athletes in sexy sports clothes, βRockβ? Why else would you say that if you weren't equating the two, "Rock"?
A lance is a type of spear, kiddo. I got the idea for "LanceDance" from a video-game character's fighting style. Are you gonna assume I'm a talking inanimate weapon now?
