Nike defended itself by noting that Team USA athletes not only have a choice between briefs and shorts but a wide variety of other outfit combinations. And the reigning Olympic pole vault champion, Katie Moon, criticized the notion that the uniforms are sexist. “Whether we feel best in a potato sack or a bathing suit during competitions, we should support the autonomy,” Moon, who is sponsored by Nike, wrote on Instagram.
Sounds to me like they can chose whatever cut they prefer. The outrage should be more directed at the advertisement choice than the actual product line.
Which is a very shitty take. If they advertised with a string tanga and those star-shaped things some stripers tape to their nipples, everyone would be upset as well (and rightfully so).
It’s not a matter of choice, the proposition itself is an insult.
If you’re too embarrassed to stand still on stage with it, competing isn’t gonna go well
This is ignorant. Would you want to be remembered for your performance, or your cameltoe?
I feel you’ve misinterpreted the comment you’ve replied to.
Yeah. I did a dumb. Sorry about that.
Can I haz both?
Ideally you should be wearing boxers or briefs under your trousers or shorts. Unless you want to go commando…
Wait what? Didn’t OP just mean that if standing is already too revealing competing in it will be even more revealing? I don’t get the ignorance here.
Fair enough. I thought they meant that the other way around. I agree that it sure af doesn’t help in competition.
