    The solution:
    “The athletes who were booted from practice opted to wear sports bras on a hot, sweaty day while their male counterparts were allowed to go shirtless, which the girls deemed as unfair and had not been the practice before.”
    The girls should have just gone topless and asked “what is a woman, anyway?” Gender is soooo yesterday.

    Note: IMO, those don’t look like sports bras, they are support tops. They do the same thing but are specifically outer wear.

    I have a much better solution, but you would like it less...

    As someone below posted. These really aren’t sports bras. They were designed for outer wear. Doubtful anything but a stomach was visible. But oh no, they might rile the boys up and you know boys will be boys, right?

    Seems like it actually riles up the liberal adults more than anyone else. They seem to be the most supportive and excited about it.

    To be clear, I was talking about the liberal rants here condemning conservatives without any foundation to do so. You know, the typical actions by liberals.

    I totally agree with the girls, but if their actions to convince others to agree were "woke" in nature, then they went about it the wrong way. And according to the school leadership, that was the case.

    Meanwhile, democrats want abortion clinics on every corner for anonymous abortions so dad doesn’t find out which teacher knocked up his 13 rear old!

    I mean if you think tyranny is having a student wear their uniform during practice than you got a lot of bigger issues to work through first.

    I'm so sorry, did you already forget "dumbass Americans" since it's a page back? I'm probably not the right guy for that term, but that was YOUR call.
    No, I have no idea who sexualizes things the most but I'm certainly not dumb enough to pretend that boobs are not sexual by nature. What do I know, maybe where you are women as so flat they cannot be distinguished from men. Good luck with that.

    Yes, context as in I wonder if other HS boys and girls think boobs are sexual in nature. I mean, I'm all for using the age of 18 as a measuring stick but this is a school event. Maybe at a school event it's cool not to have everyone's tits out including guys.

    No one’s tits were out.But by all means keep making rules because boys will be boys. Don’t fix the root cause of the problem.

    The boys’ were. They had no shirts on.

    Looking at the picture, they look like they are dressed in regular workout clothes I see on people all the time, so I really don’t get the fuss.

    As long as the guys only look and not touch, I'm ok with that. The guys need to control themselves but if the girls want to go that route, then the guys, including coaches, should be allowed to look at them, even if it's in the wrong way. If they go beyond looking, then that's a different issue.

    Mine are when I’m not wearing a shirt, and they’re fantastic.

    Any guys with no nips showing when you’re shirtless speak now or forever wear pasties.

    Women wear bathing suits as underwear. Sports bras are used in every outdoor sporting event for decades. !!!

    I read the first couple of pages without opening the link. Then got intrigued in what is this about. Absolutely nothing! Sport bras are for comfort and nothing exposing about them. If they were wearing normal bras that would be different. Perhaps those complaining about the girls wearing sport bras just want to see jiggling tits under t-shirts so they are sadly disappointed ( not being serious here to the easily offended)
