Women's Handball Players Are Fined for Rejecting Bikini Uniforms

[Eldritch]

I love Biathlon.

Takes tremendous skill to ski all out and still be able to become "motionless" to hit the tiny targets.

Yeah, the genal rule is if it doesn't involve shooting, stabbing or knocking someone senseless, it probably isn't worth watching as a sport.

Another set of sports that are on my "must watch" are Men's Decathlon and Women's Heptathlon.

Amazing stamina across numerous skills.

10 events over 2 days for the men, four on day 1 for the women, three on day two.

I'm guessing you love Gladiator movies.

Do you ever hang around the gymnasium?

Had to open the image in a new tab.

Hilarious movie(s).

TBH, beach handball looks like a heck of a fun game to play for kids and 20 somethings. There are some serious athletes among the men and women that play it at the highest levels.

Thank goodness the men are clothed, or it would be a total sausage fest...

All women’s sports should have 3 divisions

1. Modest clothing
2. Bikinis
3. Nude

See which ones get the highest ratings. Go ahead and do this for men, too.

I can see the power lifters being in the nude division! How, um, entertaining that would be.
No sexualization.

 

[scootergmc]

I watch handball now. But not men's.

 

[Melissa]

Why do you view the women's divisions only? DO you enjoy the sport itself?

 

[DucatiHoney]

Acceptable? It's literally a given from the moment an athlete or entertainer signs a contract, depending on what sport they are in.

You're commodifying human beings with this kind of statement. Yes, they have a skill that has a value as entertainment. How they look on the outside may play into that, however, there is still a person there with a right to choices and dignity. This is why things like slavery aren't Ok, why we have labor laws, etc.

 

[CocoLoco]

C'mon, in the new USA slavery is freedom. Didn't you get the memo?

 

[Melissa]

If slavery is freedom then who is in charge?

Nude will get the highest ratings for both sexes. It will mainly all be dudes watching it.

The men's sports viewership will have vastly superior interior design.

Choices and Dignity are simply not a promised right to labor. If that were true, the dudes that spin marketing signs and wear sandwich boards would all be unemployed. Seeing as how these are National Teams, it is entirely likely that these are not even paid athletes. Raising a slavery flag is just kind of off the map, don't you think?

ha ha!
Now I know.

I think, given the amount of money on the table, there should be a variety of outfits provided by the athletes' country that the OC's are required to acknowledge as acceptable attire. Allow the athletes some amount of selection, a combination of three to five tops and bottoms, and allow them to choose.

It's rather confounding that folks in the land of the free would suggest "You wear what I sayz you wear. I own you becuz I'm the boss!!" is an acceptable result of the situation.

Makes me think of UFC fighters who can choose what type of "uniform" they want to fight in. Many women choose t shirts and shorts. Some choose a sports bra and shorts.
Men have the same option and usually choose shirtless with shorts.

 

[Climber]

Shirtless fit guys get all of the chicks....at least the ones who don't need to see a Rolex watch and a $100k+ car to get interested.
