None of this would have happened if the olympics were held in traditional garb: Nothing.

WTF Mate! Who cares about what color Underwear they have on?

Crazy Olympic people...

They wanted to suspend several players... For not wearing matching underwear? Talk about petty. :rolleyes:

I start to wonder:

A) if there's anything they don't have a rule for and

B) if there will be any athletes left to compete in 2012. :tongue:

You wouldn't be suggesting this if those East German 'female' shot putters were still taking part. *shudders*

Where would we be if we didn't have rules? Thats right, France. And no one wants the world to turn into France. They should not only disqualify the entire Olympic team, but they should publicly flog all their athletes and force them at the closing ceremony to urinate on their flag while doing the Numa Numa song/dance. All you commie anarchist libertarians criticising the authorities' stance for being too harsh, shame on you. SHAME.

At least in "traditional" garb, it would be easier to tell if they were actually female. Not 100%, but easier.

It might have brought the horrors of steroid use to light a few years sooner. :p

LOL thats pretty retarded

I think i read somewhere that one of those women was quite literally turned into a Man....

It would appear that the olympic regulations folks belong on the top tier for any listing of "those who are WAY too anal about everything".

Oh my God they wore lime green instead of forest green! KILL THEM!

I hope you'll at least grant the goal keeper some kind of protective clothing.

A field hockey ball to the balls is - aw well, who am I talking to? You know what could happen. :eek::tongue::p

I propose we organize some sort of underwear protest.

I love the fact that everyone knows the answer to that question without, I'm presuming, having seen the stand up show.

Oh yes. In fact, I encourage you to.

Obviously, the answer: wear no underwear.

If they wore light colored underwear, would anyone even notice?

Or do the contestants have to drop trou before entering the field?

Man, most women's field hockey teams would be screwed. Their kilts are usually plaid...

Let us throw underwear into the sea just as revolutionary Americans threw tea into the sea! *nods*

Might not be such a bad plan, Go to china, fill their harbors with underwear, might piss some people off, lol...

Have to make sure its all Made in China however, lol...

I happen to like France. Your county's name is inordinately appropriate, if somewhat redundant (okay, yes, I know sarcasm when I see it, but there are too many true francophobes in the world for my tastes).

ETA: If "That's right, France!" is from a skit, one should post a clicky linky thingie to Youtube of same to avoid confuzzulation ;)

It'll have to bulge out a little bit or all the crotch accessories I came up with in the metal underpants thread would be hard to assemble. :tongue:

There are some good reason why athletes should wear black shorts or underwear:

Obviously, the answer: wear no underwear.

That only counts as matching underwear if they aren't wearing shorts.
