@acer621 Good for them! Also, good for the Norwegian team for refusing bikini bottoms! It's a shame they were fined for it.

@silentnight22 yes! some older female family members were making comments like blaming the ATHLETES saying "how can they wear such tiny underwear to play sports" and i was like um they're actually required and a lot of them don't want to! i hate the demonization and sexualization of women in literally every fking sphere of existence

@unworthybutgrateful Another good thing to come out of this is that people who don’t follow sports, or the logistics of sports, now realize that things like this have been dictated to athletes. This gives everyone the power to speak up about it.

@silentnight22 Have you seen that P!nk has offered to pay the fine?
