Bottoms Up

At a sports event in Europe*
Norway got a hefty fine
For their players were competing
In some shorts that crossed the line.

For the only proper bottoms 
Are bikinis, so the crowd
Gets a peek at much more tush 
Than what it seems the shorts allowed.

As the spectators were cheering,
Maybe Norway got some boos,
Since the team from Spain provided
Much more titillating views.

*Beach handball championships

I think this double standard is disgusting, so glad you pointed it out!

kudos to the women's team for taking a unified stand and to you for bringing attention to the continuation of double standards women face in the world of sports

Hard to imagine that the male spectators can concentrate on the score. ~ Beach Nut

The University of Hawai'i Beach Basket coach got fed up with me taking and posting photos of her buxom beauties leaping and bouncing, so she changed their "uniform" to "proper" shorts & Tshirts. Attendance is down as I have not taken nor posted any photos since then.
