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.

There actually is. They don`t play in Speedos, of course.
What were they worried about? Did they think the male fans would swam onto the field and start groping the players?
“The leggings are to try to hide the trannies’ junk”
Hadn’t thought of that. What Olympic rules are there regarding transsexuals in the competitions?
Each sport’s international federation gets to decide athlete eligibility.
Nikki Hiltz, a man with Gender Dysphoria who identifies as a woman, is competing for the U.S. in track.
From what i`ve read Hiltz seems to be a woman who “identifies as non-binary”, so no problem as far as an unfair advantage is concerned.
The burkini wearing women were particularly thrilling. /S
How do you know it’s a woman or the right woman ,LOL
Who knows? Nikki Hiltz claimed to be transgender on Instagram.
There was only one reason to watch beach volleyball. Why does anyone think it was a thing in the first place? Sport? The left ruins everything it touches.
Women’s Beach volleyball. Leggings vs Bikini bottom, First World Problems.
The women’s beach volleyball game I saw looked very dark, so it seemed like it was indoors.
Did they play it at night? That would explain it.
I’m surprised the feminists haven’t put shorts on the gymnasts.
The highlights I saw were with very skimpy “uniforms.” Looked to be about 2 sizes too small. I’m not complaining.
Also, no one seems to be complaining about the men’s eams swimming in banana hammocks.
“Each sport’s international federation gets to decide athlete eligibility.”
Thanks for your and the other poster’s reply.
“International Federations”, huh?
I’d be happy with a sports bra and shorts.
Those teeny bikinis always struck me as incredibly uncomfortable.
I don’t see the problem.
Every tried competing at anything with a wedgie?
Not tons of fun.
That female athletes have put up with crap for years says it all.
Knuckle under, ladies, and you deserve what you get.
Not first world problems.
Bread and circuses.
Seems like you really care about this, I made a flippant remark. You go on and on. I quit watching their crap thirty years ago.
MUSLIM PLAYERS???
