Gee, Wash Post!
Yah think something important - like your anointed candidate’s illegal use of email on HER servo matters more than “the length of basketball crime stars’ shorts? “
or do you consider shorts more important than 10000 rapes and attacks performed by Muslims in Europe?

Cue 70s disco music and red-white-blue basketball.

...because he wanted to present a more professional appearance. Of course. Because nothing says "professional" louder than short pants.

But now, the hemline is creeping back up.
I can understand LeBron's need to draw people's attention away from his receding hairline but yeah, I don't need to see that. If the longer shorts were good enough for Jordan in his best years, they're good enough for the current guys.

The ‘hot pants’ look better to me than what they have been wearing- which are so long and baggy they look like women’s skirts.

It is about time — these Hip Hop baggy Rap singer pants looked absolutely stupid and projected the mentality of the originators.
Aside from having to keep up with their criminal statistics - the Hip Hop attire used in ‘professional’ basketball was and still is a definite turn off...
Same for Soccer shorts... ENOUGH of the crappy look...

In my humble opinion, I prefer today’s baggier shorts over the ones of yesteryear. To my eye, the short shorts of the past look more appropriate for a gay pride parade than an athletic contest.

I think the baggy shorts look like women’s skirts. They look awful.

And bring back the stirrup socks in baseball while we are at it. Nowadays the pants go all the way down to the top.of the shoe. Until about 1990 baseball players had stirrup socks .
