Just this week, The International Handball Federation fined the Norwegian Women's Beach Handball Team €150 ($177) per player for wearing shorts instead of the regulation bikini bottoms. While the men's uniform consists of a tank top and shorts, women are required to wear bikini bottoms and sports bras to play.

Now, pop star P!nk stepped up and offered to pay their fines for them.

P!nk tweeted she was proud of the team for standing up against this "very sexist" rule and suggested the fines should be put on the Handball Federation.

The singer finished the tweet saying:

"I'll be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up."

People have continued to call out the European Beach Handball Championships for this unfair treatment as well as praise P!nk for speaking up.









Many also pointed out the German Artistic Gymnastics Team is wearing full length unitards to address the sexualization of female gymnasts—many of whom are underage.



Former tennis champion Billie Jean King also chimed in pointing out the men's team get to wear shorts.

"The men's team wears shorts."
"The sexualization of women athletes must stop."

P!nk might not have to pay the fine after all, since the Norwegian Handball Federation announced it would pay the fines for the team members.

Missouri Republican Senator Eric Schmitt was widely mocked after confusing his basketball teams when he attempted to link former special counsel Jack Smith with Atlanta prosecutor Fani Willis by claiming Smith went to an Atlanta Hawks game to collude with Willis about bringing charges against President Donald Trump.

During a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Schmitt accused Smith of perjury after repeatedly questioning him about whether he had attended an NBA game in Atlanta on Feb. 3, 2024. The Atlanta Hawks hosted the Golden State Warriors that evening.

Affleck shared that lesson during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he revealed how his kids keep him humble while promoting his new film, Animals.

MTG Rips GOP With Blunt Theory After Suspicious Migrant Caravan Spotted Heading Toward The U.S.

Responding to a report about a migrant caravan of more than 600 people from Honduras traveling through Mexico toward the U.S. border, former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Republicans of orchestrating a crisis for political convenience.

The episode echoes a similar political controversy from 2018, when a much larger migrant caravan became a major issue in U.S. politics and was seized upon by the far-right. President Donald Trump, then in his first term, seized on the caravan ahead of that year’s midterm elections, describing the migrants’ arrival as an “invasion.”

John Fetterman Is Getting Some Major Side-Eye After Making Wild Freudian Slip During Interview

Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman raised eyebrows after he referred to himself as a "lifelong Republican" when approached by a reporter who asked him why he doesn't just "become an independent" after finding himself at odds with other Democrats.

Fetterman has faced scrutiny over his relationship with the Democratic Party after breaking with fellow Democrats on several major issues. He joined Republicans in opposing efforts to end the U.S. war with Iran and to halt military assistance to Israel, which has faced allegations of genocide in Gaza.
