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

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

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

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:

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