Angry Olympics viewers have been called out as sexists after taking to social media to fume over beach volleyball players ditching bikini bottoms for leggings in Paris.
Previously, women's beach volleyball players were forced to wear the bikini bottoms with the International Olympic Committee even mandating how skimpy they were, with official rules stating they could not be more than 7cm on the sides.
Those rules were torn up for the Paris Olympics, with athletes now allowed to compete in more modest leggings - creating a social media firestorm.
Plenty of viewers have been labelled 'sexist' and 'creeps' for complaining about the absence of bikini bottoms purely because they wanted to gawk at the athletes.
'So I've had to watch blokes dressed as women at the opening ceremony and now women wearing leggings in the beach volleyball. Worst Olympics ever,' one posted.
'Add it to the list of reasons as to why I'm not watching the Olympics,' fumed another.
'Leggings in beach volleyball is a god d*** crime,' raged yet another.
There were also plenty of offensive and misogynistic comments that the Mail has elected not to publish.

Could it be that qt first the Paris OC seek for Burqa, but upon the backlash they settled for leggings?
Thankfully we had a cameraman hero for the Munich 2022 olympics

Um, there was no Olympics in 22 in Munich.
Even so....
If they were wearing bikinis I would have watched.
On the night of the opening ceremony for the Atlanta Olympics, my college roomie and I were watching it and he decided then and there that “I’ve got to see this!” Less than fifteen minutes later he was out the door of our apartment and in his car for the six hours drive to Atlanta. When he got there he got to see the first games ever of beach volleyball at the Olympics. And then he got to hang out for awhile with the ladies of the Brazilian team. Those were the days! :-)
The burkini wearing women were particularly thrilling. /S
I am boycotting the perverted and anti-Christian Olympics. France deserves derision over this whole debacle.
I could never understand why female volleyball players would put up with that crap....olympic officials are hypocrites as well as satanic.
Faggot pedo groomer trannies with their junk hanging out insulting Christianity, no biggie. Athletic babes in bikinis... Well that’s just too much.
The leggings are to try to hide the trannies’ junk.
Indeed.
I agree.
Not only the stupid leggings, but beach volleyball should be played on the beach, not indoors in an arena.
They couldn’t have played on a beach on the French Riviera? Why not?
And to think Versailles and Marseille were out of the question as well.
Mybe it’s finally reached the point of having to determine if women are athletes or women. The “sale” of title IX to the public in the US had nothing to do with the equality of sports programs but was an effort toward creating the image of equality, even though it lowered the capacity of sport, to subsvcriber voters for federal people.
I can watch programs that feature women competitions and note eye makeup, alluring uniforms, yet athleticism, while below men’s capacity, there for entertainment purposes. So it appears to me it has morphed into entertainment from sport. But it is being subsidized by funds being taken from sportsw programs. Some to the extent of having to shut down some men’s sports programs to stay within a budget. And at the moment, there are two sports that women are not competing with men, ro allowed to, and no program for the sports are available to men, field hockey and softball.
Some colleges like Appalachian State, Cincinnati, East Carolina, Furman and Old Dominion have already cut non-revenue sports programs, but any move must ensure equitable treatment of remaining men’s and women’s athletics programs to comply with Title IX. Within that Old Dominion said it would discontinue wrestling, saving about $1 million. Cincinnati eliminated a men’s soccer program in existence since 1973. Florida International dissolved its men’s indoor track and field program. Akron eliminated three sports, men’s cross country, men’s golf and women’s tennis to save $4.4 million. Bowling Green followed with the shutdown of baseball to reduce the athletics department’s operating budget by $2 million. Furman cut baseball and men’s lacrosse, while East Carolina eliminated four sports, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis in a plan to save $4.9 million. Stanford dropped its wrestling program and Appalachian State cut men’s soccer, men’s tennis and men’s indoor track and field.
So where does the gender appeal stop and sport start when sports programs are disolved to create entertainment entitlements? The loss of revenue could buy a lot of test tubes.

Olympic imposition of radical values.
Sickening.
If they played beach volleyball on the French Riviera, they would still need to import sand. They don’t really have sand worthy of the name in Nice, which is the only part of the French Riviera that I have seen. I distinctly remember it being more like gravel. Nothing like the white powder in Southern California, where beach volleyball first took off.
