Team USA track and field kit for women is needlessly revealing and sexist, women athletes have said after Nike unveiled its outfits for the Paris Olympics

What is it with Nike and sexualized athletic uniforms these days (see MBA see-through pants)? Did PornHub invest without anyone noticing?

        Hey, some of us are only tolerant of degredation! /s

        Though really, my only problem is this isn’t what the athletes want (well, and the slew of other peoblems this situation is indicative of). I think it’d be hilarious if athletes could go traditional all the way to the nude. No sharkskin swimming suits, no state of the art track shoes, nada.

        Maybe then they’d stop breaking records every year just for getting technological assistance…

        Then we can make an “enhanced” Olympics with steroids and fancy suits and the works, and REALLY see what humans can do on their own with the juxtaposition.

      I hear Nike calls this their emperor line. They told the athletes it’s ultra lightweight performance wear. It doesn’t actually exist.
