I'm sure their bums look even better in compression shorts.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

This is admittedly a dumb rule and I bet they walk these fines back. No way they stick.

Makes you think that maybe women's beach handball is more about bikinis than athletic skill.

BTW, anybody else ever hear of beach handball? It's a new one on me.

I hope the women win this. If they want to compete with cargo shorts I am fine with that as well. They are there to play a sport, not display their nether regions to ogling fans.

True. Also true is that far fewer people will want to watch their sport if they can't ogle their nether regions.

Not looking all that bad from that photo. Who wouldn't want to see them in skimpy bottoms? But I'm sure playing in shorts is a lot easier on the crotch areas.

Honestly, they should be able to choose what uniform best suits them for the sport.

Shorts, bikini bottoms, a tuxedo, whatever.

Yeah I mean, I'm all for them being able to choose whatever they want to play in. Kinda ****ed to make them play in essentially bra and panties. Hell at that point we should just go back to the old days of the olympics and have everyone compete naked.

After thorough research, I have concluded that the fines should be rescinded and replaced with corporal punishment conducted in public.

This. How they ever thought fining them was a good idea is beyond me. What advantage did they get from wearing shorts? Other then not having their ass cheeks hanging out?

I wasn't sure what I would find in the thread when I clicked on it. I didn't think that the Norwegian team was playing bottomless, but you're never really sure, are you? After all, if they were playing bottomless, it is easy to see why they would be criticized for it.

I don't know. I kind of thought the thick one on the end would definitely give you the best time if you gave her the opportunity.
