CaptainSarcastic posted:It was just one photo - maybe your eyes slid over it thinking it was an ad? Anyone have that picture of muslim beach volleyball players wearing potato sacks at the Olympics? The women in beach volleyball choose what to wear. Our players didn't even wear bikinis when it was cold. When they wore bikinis, they chose to wear bikinis. This article is basically calling them sluts for wanting to wear bikinis.

Quantum Finger posted:like have you ever tried to hold yourself perfectly immobile upside down in the water with your legs sticking out? don't do it cuz you'll drown Yeah, every kid in the world has when they go "Hey mom, watch me do a handstand!". Also, drowning is generally offset once you've mastered the "hold your breath" technique.

Y-Hat posted:at best, these stupid articles regurgitate the same points made by everyone else. at worst, they're actively advocating regressive policies via their warped view of social justice. thanks for screencapping this point in two paragraphs so i don't have to read the actual article On further reflection, I think the article also provides an excellent argument that the Olympics should be made more authentic to the ancient games and played entirely in the nude.

Kurtofan posted:I'm pretty sure it's the national federation who chooses what they wear, you think athletes have any say over their kits? Yeah, the athletes can choose. That's why all the teams' clothing varies by the weather. If it's too cold or rainy, they'll wear sleeves or long pants. It's almost too crazy to believe but they've actually had to defend why they want to wear bikinis in a beach game. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kerri-walsh-jennings-shuts-down-beach-volleyball-bikini-critics_us_5727bf4ae4b016f378933897 http://www.foxsports.com/olympics/story/Olympics-Beach-volleyball-bikinis-raise-issues-at-2012-Summer-Games-in-London-041212 quote:In a Sports Illustrated podcast earlier this week, Walsh said: “I’ve played in a bikini for a very specific reason and it’s that it’s most comfortable. I’ve worked really hard with Oakley to get a really good suit that I’m not worried about wardrobe malfunctions, and it’s really sporty.” quote:"It's something I feel empowered by, not distracted with,” Walsh added. “I'm not a sex symbol; I'm an athlete. I want to be streamlined out there." quote:“The original way to play beach volleyball was in a bikini and board shorts, and I don’t know what else they want us to wear,” Walsh Jennings told The Huffington Post over the phone.

If it's too cold or rainy, they'll wear sleeves or long pants. friend of mine's involved in the canadian national volleyball program and regularly hears how some concerned group of citizens tries to ban booty shorts at the high school/college level and it's always met with a brick wall by the players themselves this likely comes as no surprise to anyone who's known private school girls and their daily battle with skirt length regs

Viruswithshoes posted:It's only the beginning of the fallout for the residents of Rio. I think this thread will live on for a long time as the news of Rio's grinding descent into oblivion comes out. Not to mention once all the athletes return home they can freely divulge what the conditions were like without fear of being removed from an airplane and held in police custody until they 'donate to a charity'.

it's funny because all of them seem to ignore rhythm gymnastics/ballet, where it actually is a problem and you have a high chance of losing if you don't wear a tight and flashy uniform for the traditionalist judges

My favorite part of the article was the last line "It’s too bad she had to look like a tip-hungry server at Caesar’s Palace." We don't want our athletes looking like some low-dollar waitress whores! They can gently caress right off...back to their crushing poverty?

how long is the marathon? asking on behalf of the Olympic organisers because they had to add an extra bit on the end because the course was initially too short

The gymnasts wear leotards covered in crystals like ballet dancers with a terminal vajazzle infection, not shameless bikinis larger than the everyday beach goers'.

I am at work and walked into a residents room. Something was happening at a wrestling event? There was a guy stripping to his underwear and playing to the crowd while the british announcers yelled at him and asked for decency. What the gently caress did I watch??
