quote of the day
In the past, the focus of clothing for female athletes may have been appearance rather than function. The decision should be made according to the wishes of the athletes, with emphasis on function.

It’s one thing if someone just wants to play sportsball. Please, enjoy yourself and challenge it to your full potential.
irs another thing if they expecting people to watch it and want to make money playing it.

Please don’t have ice skaters wear pants. Their outfits augment their routines. The women that is.

This professor is not connected to reality. The main role of sports competitions is entertaining people, not results and scores. If you dress sportsmen in functional plastic bags I am not going to buy tickets to see them.
