“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.”
They get gold by points, not gonads. The rules leave the attire up to the competitors and in the highest level of competitions, the look-at-me aspect of the attire takes a back seat to being able to compete well.
There are other teams from non-muslim countries who compete in body suits. Picking a burka as his example muddied the issue and raised questions regarding the writers motives.
The Brazilian female team wore bodysuits last night, and they are expected to be in contention for the gold medal. They aren’t big baggy uniforms like the burkas, but they were more modest and provided an example that could have been used with far less baggage.
Just like the athletes pick their clothing, the author picked his example. He is welcome to critique the clothing choices... and others are free to critique his examples.
Calling people names and slinging insults won’t make his example a good one.
BTW, who's calling names and slinging insults?
