Women's volleyball is action packed sport to watch.

This may be the only time I'll ever agree with afic. That will make women's handball a spectator sport at least for the dirty old men.

With that logic, Affy, the only reason men watch men's sports is to see the beaver bashers bounce...

No one watches women's sports for the actual sport except those girls grandparents. Bouncing boobs and firm rears are the only reasons beach volleyball or women's curling ever got tv coverage

I agree with you on this one. It's idoitic to make women wear skimpy shorts to play a sport. Any sick old Konrad who only watches sports to see scantily clad individuals should get a new hobby.

It turns out that the European Handball Federation requires women to "wear bikini bottoms with a side width of a maximum of 10 centimeters (3.9 inches), with a close fit and cut on an upward angle toward the top of the leg."

Men, however, "must wear shorts that are not too baggy and 3.9 inches above the knee."


So when the Norwegian women's team worse shorts more like the men's... they were fined $1,766!


What's the logic? Women can't play unless their butt's showing?

Happily, Pink heard about it and offered to pay their fine, calling attention to their sexism on a global level:
