8. Let them choose

Have you seen track and field? Women dress the same, the men in nylon tights with junk swinging, Gymnastics, and swimming and diving. If you are offended, watch Fencing, and Martial arts. Go to any beach USA, watch MMA, Normal attire. These sports wear the same in all competition outside of Olympics. It is not on them, have you seen MTV music videos? Pink participates. Her choice. I applaud her standing with those that refuse to wear that attire. But until the other athletes say no way, let them compete how they want. I choose not to watch men’s diving. Maybe if they wore Bermuda shorts.
Venture to say many of those men flopping choose not to wear a jock.
