Pope said not one descriptive word about the particulars of the Egyptian team's uniforms, except that they covered more than the bikinis did, and didn't seem to hamper their athletic performance, as they qualified on merit and played very well.

What he should have noted is that Islam is a religion that shames women bodies to the point that they have to participate in sports activities swaddled from head to toe in the tropical heat. That's the important point. Not bikinis

That’s your important point. You missed his important point: that you shouldn’t have to reach for the Gold through the gonads. It’s an athletic competition, not T&A.

You can’t fault the author for making *his* important point, instead of yours. It’s his article.
