P!nk Offers To Pay Norwegian Handball Team's Fines After Shorts Controversy—And Fans Are Here For It

I\u2019m VERY proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team FOR PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES ABOUT THEIR \u201cuniform\u201d. The European handball federation SHOULD BE FINED FOR SEXISM. Good on ya, ladies. I\u2019ll be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up.

Why don\u2019t the men have to wear Speedo then!!! Fair is fair.

When they said they'd be happy to pay the fine, the federation escalated it and threatened with expulsion.\nSo it was never about rules, it was always about control.

unreal that they\u2019re having to protest the fact that they want to wear shorts\u2026 I can\u2019t see any reason that shorts would affect their playing ability!

The German gymnastics team are wearing body suits. A GB para Olympic athlete was committed on her athletic briefs being to short by an offical. We can\u2019t win. A beach volleyball team fined because of what they choose to wear. Women should be able to wear what they want to wear

The Norwegian Women\u2019s Beach Handball team is facing fines for wanting to wear shorts instead of bikini bottoms. The bottoms are not to cover \u201cmore than 10cm on any sides.\u201d\n\nThe men\u2019s team wears shorts.\n\nThe sexualization of women athletes must stop.https://www.insider.com/norwegian-handball-team-fined-wearing-shorts-instead-bikini-uniform-2021-7\u00a0\u2026
