I can’t be the only one to notice that Nike thinks that able women should be sexualized, but disabled ones should wear long pants. I’m not sure which women that is more insulting to.
What’s going on with Nike and their uniforms? The MLB ones are pretty bad where you can basically see through the pants, and now this.
Gotta grift somewhere. Make that fabric shear so we use less and just call it “breathable” and “form fitted.” And then charge em 3 times more.
I doubt anyone at Nike is giving two shits about the fabric savings for the Olympic team uniforms lol
Uniforms on the MLB side seem to be getting worse after the start of the season. There have been instances already of pants just ripping apart. Now, there have been sweat stain issues with the uniforms too. Some teams like the Mariners, Rangers, and Brewers are still waiting on full uniform sets. It’s been a chaotic mess.
Uniforms should be issued, not designed by the country. Some countries have invested $10,000s of dollars to ensure their athletes have the least amount of drag, namely in swimming. At that point, it isn’t the talent of the athlete, it’s the clothes. Put everyone on even playing ground clothes wise.
I hope they organize a “no shave” protest.
I thought the same thing. The article mentions Brazilian waxes, and my immediate thought was f-that. Go full bush. You wanna see what my junk is really like? Feel free to view it in its natural state.
sensationalism at it’s best. they have other options to wear if they don’t want to wear that.
And that argument is discussed in the article. Doesn’t mean it isn’t sexist
how is it sexist? women are allowed to wear the mens gear if they want. it’s up to the athlete to choose.
Too bad the promotional image doesn’t show more than one option for each gender, and itself shows the different aesthetic expectations of men and women competing in the Olympics.
that’s a failure of the publication, not nike. like i said, it’s sensationalism at it’s best.

A leotard shaped in a way that creates a fucking camel toe and unnecessarily rides up to nearly the hip bone is not “feminine distinction”
You didn’t even read the article.
I do I just like to pretend I don’t…
