    is a fantasy and has nothing to do with real girls doing athletics...

    Personally, I oppose such laws forcing people to wear things. Those on the left are right to criticize burkas, but are not pointing with clean hands.

    Did you know that in some parts of the world, even dogs are required to be covered from head to paw. Its called a Barka !

    I agree with them if boys can take their shirts off girls should be allowed to be in a sports bra.

    Let's say it was a swim team would girls be required to wear shirts?

    See this is a strange thing to me control themselves in which way? Not luck why shouldn't they look.

    It's natural to be sexually attracted to the opposite side and even if we made them cover up they still would be.

    Various religions have spent millennia trying to stop men and women from being attracted to each other and have failed.

    The OP link quotes one of the sports bra girls saying the boys were also asked to put their shirts on. The whole stink arose because the boys apparently complied without staging a protest while the girls objected. At least that’s what the OP link says…

    Meh, there are plenty of things that plenty of women can't control too.

    There is a reason the OP linked article does not divulge the name/names of the “journalists” who wrote the piece—because it’s garbage journalism. The facts of the story are not known to whoever wrote the piece. They should have investigated enough to find out which girl is lying.

    The linked article and the OP are disseminating disinformation in an attempt to appeal to our emotions. I’m not falling for such nonsense.

    So, during the track practice the girls were told to wear a shirt. According to your own article the boys were also asked to wear a shirt when they tried to go topless. Both sides complied. One of the girls started an online petition as a result of this. And then the girls showed up to a Lacrosse practice again wearing sports bras, knowing that per school policy they were supposed to wear shirts. That was when they were told to leave. They weren't told to leave for the track practice. Nothing is mentioned about the boys wearing shirts or not at the Lacrosse practice. So we can only assume that they were since the article mentions it for the track practice.

    I'm not seeing the conflict here? Is it just the fact that the girls were told to wear a shirt over their sports bras? Because according to the article the boys were told to wear a shirt also. The administrator from what I can tell was just following the dress code.

    In any case. Your hyperbole about the GOP is idiotic. Don't know where you've been for the last couple of decades but the GOP have been fairly outspoken AGAINST burkas.

    the sports bra is optional, the shirt isn't. Put it on or don't participate.

    Actually it does give the man the right to look. :shrug: When you're in public there is no expectation of privacy.

    It is interesting though. So many (both on the left and the right) love to holler about consequences and responsibility. But both sides apply such to different things, and then turn around and demand that no consequences should happen or responsibility held for X action.

    Its as if neither side understand action and reaction and consequences for both.

    Another example of the slippery slope. Just because we make an exception in one area doesn't mean that should be expanded in all areas.

    Don't you believe it would just be ridiculous for women to go around in bikinis in all areas, in public, when they are NOT at a beach?

    If it's too hot, maybe she should wear a looser fitting cotton shirt?

    Tight and polyester is not going to breathe very well.

    Yep I’ve been sucked into this sort of nonsense too many times. I don’t even look at 50% of threads on here anymore. The thread title is just too obviously intended to outrage someone. I’ve found such threads are almost always based on false information or misrepresentation of information. But I still get bit from time to time. :)

    Of course it is. It makes me laugh when people get upset by my obvious sarcasm posts though. That being said:
    I wonder if I can post a track Uniform: [​IMG]
    Or a sports bra: upload_2022-5-20_22-51-26.png

    What fantasy? He was agreeing with the girls and disagreeing with your unfounded criticism of the GOP. He is right and you are, well, bad at this.

    My criticism is completely on point... and I don't see how posting pinup girls holding a gun is showing a kindred spirit with girls athletics, but I don't fully speak MAGA, so I'll give him the BOTD....

    Thanks for translating....
