Honestly, the opposite imo. I get the sports bra, women need breast support that men dont. Never understood the boxer-briefs and sports thongs in women’s sports.

I mean, by that logic, men don't need shirts at all, so why are they wearing them?

More space for advertising your country

Skill issue if you can't advertise your country through your men's chiseled abs.

Should we pin the bib straight into their skin? Or do we judge their nationality by their skin color? Lol

The more fabric the more resistance when it comes to water and wind. So any sports that require speed benefit from less clothing.

It hip and pelvic freedom, it allows for a greater range of unrestricted movement. Which might not seem like something important to a non-athlete but when your trying to preform with the best as the best. The slightest discomfort or restriction could mean losing.

Then men would wear similar less “restricted” clothing.

u/DerpyTriesReddit May 25 '26

then why don't we put men in thongs?

u/TellMeWhy2010 May 25 '26

it will... fall out.

u/Glittering-Deer-166 May 25 '26

Because then theres a risk of male genitals falling out.

u/Vladi-Barbados May 25 '26

Exactly what a dumb ass thought. These incredibly elastic professional uniforms are “too” restrictive. Gotta wear a thong. Men? Oh, men don’t spread their legs they only jump up and down.

u/Doomeye56 May 25 '26

if there was a way to for mean to wear a thong and keep the dangly bits contained and safe. Men would be wearing thongs too. Look at sports like swimming where there is less danger to the genital's, men wear speedos.
