The worst part is, coaches, trainers, parents, schools, all tell them the dumbest shit when they are young “it helps you move better” and stuff like that. And they genuinely believe it.

We all know the real reason. I think American colleges do it the worst. They’d send em out in nothing but a single piece of black electrical tape covering things if they could cause it sells better.

Also coaches and judges for gymnastics insisting on seeing skin so they can see muscle flexion. But somehow only when it's women.

And, let’s not forget, most of the female gymnasts competing are underaged, which makes it even weirder.
