Good for them, no need to look like hoochie's, even if I like hoochie's !

[Two Bills]

Make'em wear Bhurkas!

[Topspinmo]

I agree, too little too much sometimes. :duck: leave’s nothing to imagination.

[EdFNJ]

Woman's Olympic Beach Volleyball outfits and the obvious angle the camera's shot them were a bit obvious. I don't mind what they were wearing just don't see the need to make them wear them.

[Velvet]

Do you see the men wearing bikinis to play beach ball in the Olympics? They do in water polo but first, you don’t see it because they’re under water and second, they wear functional swim wear. They still look silly when they come out of the water though.

I was on the swim team at university and I would have found it humiliating to have to wear such a skimpy outfit in public. Although the original Olympians used to compete in the nude. But that was then.

[baramu]

Bhurkas? Horrible comment.

Wearing bikini bottoms is very distracting. I have difficulty following the ball.

The women on the beach volleyball teams are in superb condition, and I appreciate seeing them in their required outfits. Putting shorts on them is like requiring dogs to wear diapers. However, I think the men should be required to wear the same bottoms. They are in great shape, too, after all.

While we are at it, I deplore the new prudery that puts NBA basketball players in the ugliest baggy shorts possible. If they also wore bikini bottoms or Speedos, the number of women watching basketball games would increase by millions. Similarly, the WNBA teams could also gain a lot of viewers with a similar move. Many of us can remember when the NBA uniforms were less prudish. Why are we going backwards? Perhaps in the next Olympics the swimmers will be required to wear 19th century swimsuits.

[nick demis]

Why should the Olympic committee care? Performance is what matters. I'm watching to see the skill not a Victoria Secrets runway.

[Jimmy R.]

I would think that what ever uniform that does not interfere with athletes abilities should be allowed. Forcing a skimpy uniform could be a TV rating ploy.....

[Petersweeney]

I hope it doesn’t spill over to woman’s high jump…..

I have complained about this for years. If the men are allowed to wear shorts, then why are the women required to wear bikinis? It obviously is not to improve their game. I totally support letting women athletes look like athletes.

[Madelaine Amee]

The fine is beyond stupid. This is what is killing the Olympics for many of us. Get these people off the committee and bring in new blood.

Bikinis look geat on the right body on the beach, but do not survive the jumping, twisting and reaching required to play volley ball.

[billethkid]

:icon_bored:

[merrymini]

Why do they have to wear skimpy suits? I think the shorts look great and are probably more comfortable. You go girls. Not watching the olympics this time. Could not care less who wins. They have poisoned the well.

[Mudder]

The German women's gymnastics team decided to wear unitards. They covered their legs instead of their arms. I'm glad they took a stand as a team.

[Bwolf1]

This silliness is just one reason I’m not watching.

[La lamy]

Such a stupid sexist uniform for those athletes. I know I wouldn't want to have my butt cheeks hanging out while working and I sure don't like to see it on others as well. I'm sure many men would disagree with me, but sports is not pornography, those voyeurs should get their kicks in other private ways in my book.

[billethkid]

What would be a novel concept is to have varied opinions without including cheap shots at differing or opposing views?

No wonder viewership is down.

Loved that Pink offered to pay their fines for them!

Agree, in my younger years I seen pole dancer’s more covered.

I wish the US women's gymnastic team would do the same. They all have such out-of-proportion upper bodies as a result of all that training, that their uniforms look top-heavy and odd/unattractive. JMO

[LianneMigiano]

If the women should wear bikinis - then the MEN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO WEAR SPEEDOS!:bigbow::bigbow::bigbow:

[Escape Artist]

If this is the biggest controversy of these Olympics, they have little to worry about!

Some of the men’s swimming competitions wear them🤭

"My opinions" is the title. No pictures!!! :1rotfl:

[photo1902]

I saw her book at Barnes and Noble. It's called "How I became a Social Justice Warrior"

The only men that would disagree with you, are the same sexist/misogynistic types (ie: the IOC members who initiated the fines) that get a prurient thrill ogling women - as if they were just a piece of meat. Beyond disgusting.

[kathy1516]

My take is they don’t want to lose men and women viewers. Let’s face it, these men and women have bodies that don’t quit. However; I find the shorts are much less offensive than these glorified G strings they are required to wear. IMO

[GMIJFI]

Good for the ladies! It's supposed to be an athletic competition - not a skin show

[Boop20000]

They looked much more comfortable

I totally agree. The bottom riding up is annoying.

The singer Pink is paying the fine for the team which I think is great!

They’re athletes not working at Hooters. :ohdear:

[RuthA]

I agree with Nick. It shouldn't matter what they wear. Should be their decision. I hate the skimpy bikinis myself. They shorts look much better.

I support them 100%
It’s about time women stick up for themselves
Maybe we should but men in speedo‘s see how the like it
Same with women Track and Feild

[Tim C.]

darn. bikinis were the only reason TO watch

[Freehiker]

It’s all about money, plain and simple. Put hot young women in bikinis and men will watch.

Belly button display was original objection to Bikini on French Riviera alla Bridget Bardot. They all show theirs in the Pic so what's the beef?

I still have a hard time following the ball and knowing the score.

[Neils]

Yawn ������

Dont watch them. Too much political posturing

[ndubin]

Celebrity star Pink paid the fines

[Ben Franklin]

Way to go ladies. No need to wear skimpy bikini bottoms to please the lounge lizards.

[charmed59]

But women won’t. If they are really just looking for viewers, why are they aiming for old guys? Why not go for a wider audience of both?

Most women don’t watch sports, it’s predominantly men.

Sex sells.

I was shocked, but probably shouldn't have been, that the bikini bottoms were mandatory. I thought it was a decision made by the athletes.
The rules need to be changed
