Seems that is the case.
While society plays some role in determining what is modest, some things are almost a given.
At one time, showing ankle was risque. Now it’s nothing.
But there are certain areas of the body that really are not meant for public display.
That said, knowing that men are so easily enticed by the human female body, it behooves women to dress in a way so as not to cause an undue burden on a man who is tempted in that way, or in a way so as to embarrass children. And mature women will take that into consideration. because they are not so self-centered, callous, and narcissistic as to not care how what they do affects others.
Butt cheeks showing are certainly NOT necessary in any sport. It’s not like there is the issue of *drag* in the water or some other performance issues. There is plenty of choice in sportswear that is designed to keep one cool and dry while competing in hot conditions.
With what they are wearing these days, one equipment “malfunction” and there’s a show for all the world to see.
Your post is so ridiculous I don't know where to start. So, because Kerry Walsh (a married mother of three) wears a bikini bottom while competing at a world class level, I'm going to be "enticed" by her? Enticed to do what? Fly to Rio and hit on her? Ask her for intercourse? After all, when you say "enticed", you really mean to say that any man seeing her in a bikini will want to have intercourse with her, correct? Let's be frank here and say what you lack the candor to say: that any man seeing Kerry Walsh in a bikini will want to have intercourse with her.
Good god, what a moronic thing for you to say. I'm betting that she wears what she does solely to maximize her chance to win at her sport, not to "entice" me (or any other man) to fly out to where she is competing and ask her for intercourse. Your sanctimonious post brings shame to you and insults a woman who has done more to represent America and bring joy to fans of her sport than you will ever accomplish.
Thankfully, Ms. Walsh doesn't wear an altar boy outfit while playing. That surely would raise the pulse of priests more than a bikini ever would..... Those whole live in glass houses should not throw stones!
