We Agree with P!nk: Stop Sexualizing Female Athletes

We Agree with P!nk: Stop Sexualizing Female Athletes On Sunday, P!nk took to Twitter to speak out against the Norweigan female beach handball team being fined for opting to wear shorts instead of bikini bottoms. P!nk said she was “VERY proud” of the team for “PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES ABOUT THEIR ‘uniform.’” In the same tweet, she offered to pay for the team’s fines, adding that the European Handball Federation should be the ones to pay. I’m VERY proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team FOR PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES ABOUT THEIR “uniform”. The European handball federation SHOULD BE FINED FOR SEXISM. Good on ya, ladies. I’ll be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up.

Editorial: What should female athletes wear at the Tokyo Olympics? Whatever works for them

Print It was, essentially, an order for the female athletes to show more skin: The Norwegian women’s beach handball team drew a fine for wearing shorts at the European championships last week, instead of sporting bikini bottoms that bare part of the derriere. Their “improper clothing” failed to meet the European Handball Federation’s requirement that briefs have “a close fit and cut on an upward angle toward the top of the leg.” Midriff-baring tops are required as well, though the team had those. Sadly, that’s not an isolated example. International sports federations have for too long dictated stringent and nonsensical rules for women about what they may or may not wear during competition. Some women’s teams are wearying of high-cut leotards, bathing suits and midriff-baring (or covering) uniforms. Men are typically given more leeway and more choices.
