I came across this article and I can't believe it's even an issue. (I would usually just post the link, but the page is coming up all weird.)
BEIJING, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Table tennis is desperate to attract more viewers and some in the sport believe a simple enough solution exists: get the women to wear skirts and shirts with “curves”.
Half-empty stands for women’s games at the Olympics in China, the country most obsessed with table tennis, reinforce concerns that the sport needs a make-over to shed its fusty image.
Women players mostly wear baggy shorts and shirts unlike their tennis counterparts who dress for comfort as well as style.
“We are trying to push the players to use skirts and also nicer shirts, not the shirts that are made for men, but ones with more curves,” International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) vice president Claude Bergeret said.
WTF??
1.) Would you watch this if chicks were in short skirts? Probably a stupid question to pose to a bunch of dudes. But after the initial visual/boner, would you keep watching?
2.) Have you wondered about any other weird sports in the Olympics? I saw the Trampoline finals the other day. I'm still scratching my head about that one.
