Falling well into the ‘maybe we have other more important shit to deal with these days’ category, have you seen all the hoopla made over the Norwegian woman beach volleyball teams’ refusal to wear their ‘regulation’ bikini bottoms when playing? Supposedly the team could be fined for the violation of wearing shorts, as they did just recently, but the ladies claim they are more comfortable playing in outfits that cover them more. Although bikinis were the assigned uniform for women’s Olympic beach volleyball players, the dress code was recently changed by the Federation of International Volleyball and the new uniform guidelines allow shorts as an option. I’d say that these women, who have worked damn hard to get the chance to represent their country, as all Olympians do, should wear what they want, if it does not impinge on the play of their opponent.
As much of dyed-in-the-wool self-described (and proud of it) perverts Chris and I are, we aren’t much checking out Olympic team sports for how much skin we might spy on a female volleyball player. We’re too busy realizing how far away from these amazing physical specimens we are…and will always be.
Again, is this what we should be worrying about right now? Not only with COVID-19 having and still putting the games in jeopardy and seeing how it’s anybody’s guess how/why and if Olympic viewing is currently passe?’ See these two drastically different views on this question:
German gymnasts are also changing up their couture, standing up to what they claim is the “sexulization in gymnastics” by wearing a unitard instead of their traditional leotard which will cover their legs and arms. Again, all the more power to them. I did not notice the sexualization, but then again I am not a German gymnast (you do not want to see me in a unitard, or any kind of tard for that matter).
Sure, what I come across most times these days with people having their say about this or that, I usually don’t understand. But as with most things, all of this falls well into the ‘walk a mile in my shoes’ or bikini bottoms, as the case might be. I just figure, if an athlete feels they can do their best wearing this or that, whether it is revealing or not, let them have at it. And if you are of a mind (see: perversion) to peek or salivate over a body in a tight body suit or shorts (and how can you not really, these men and women really do work hard and loom so fantastic!), I say enjoy yourself, just as long as that enjoying is being done in the privacy of your own home.
