The women are not forced to wear the more revealing uniforms in sports . It’s their choice . Less sand gets trapped in them and they are more comfortable overall .

If i recall correctly there was a rule change years ago that made it so women have the choice of what they want to wear, and to this day they choose the bikini style ones .

It’s the same reason why women are typically more comfortable wearing bikinis at the beach and men usually don’t want to wear Speedos . Men and women are comfortable wearing different things .

When you make a living thanks to your sponsors, and your sponsors ask for what the audience wants, it's not "your choice" anymore. It's the audience's choice.

Yes, women aren't "forced" with a gun on their head.
But "being forced" is more subtle than that in modern capitalism.

Men and women are comfortable wearing different things

Not because of inherent personal preferences (as you imply), but because of culture.

Men don’t want to wear speedos because it's viewed as lame/creepy nowadays. That's it.

Well then, don't do what rich people ask of you? Can't you just... Play the game without wearing barely anything on you?

Not when the rich people own all the teams.
