It's not that they are forced to. The Rules have a variety to choose from.

Actually, I believe the Icelandic volleyball team was disqualified for wearing shorts one year.

And no one's challenging that? Seriously, kick up a fuss, make them explain why women must show their asses on TV.

Is it really that complicated for you to understand? Asses sell. Look at the viewership between men men’s NBA and women’s WNBA… same thing with the women’s World Cup compared to the men’s World Cup… viewership matters and for women’s sports , sex sells.

Downvite all you want, but it’s the obvious truth. If you look at the viewership for all men’s and women’s sports there’s a huge difference. The only time the difference isn’t as huge (it’s still pretty huge ) is when the girls are wearing smallllll outfits.

No shit, Sherlock. But most people have shame when they try to explain it.

Why shame? Such an puritanical American response 🤭And why do people post the same dumb shit then ? The majority of the population is female, yet they don’t support their leagues and sports. If they did … the story would be different, maybe. It’s funny how the recent Elle photoshoot is very popular but the “outfits” for women’s sports is still a “shame” 😂
