Norwegian Women's Handball Team Fined For Wearing Shorts Instead Of Bikinis “Male handball players are allowed to wear shorts, but a women’s team was fined for wearing them instead of revealing bikinis.” 🤬🤬🤬
. The team was competing against Spain for a bronze medal on Sunday, and wore thigh-length elastic sports as a protest against rules they say are unfair, allowing men to wear tank tops and shorts, but forcing women’s teams to play only in bikinis.The Norwegian handball federation president has called the uniforms women players are required to wear “embarrassing.
, “It’s not [appropriate clothing for] the activity when they are playing in the sand,” and added that when training at home in Norway, the women’s team can wear whatever it wants. They’re only required to adhere to sexist rules when they play in international tournaments, he said.
“I got a message 10 minutes before the match that they would wear the clothing that they were satisfied with. And they got our full support,” Lio said. The move was praised online, as many people were shocked to hear of handball’s sexist double standard for its teams.Will you PLEASE tell us why it is necessary for the female beach handball players to wear bikini briefs? Why are the shorts the Norwegian team wore deemed unlawful? And why are the men allowed to wear regular shorts instead of Speedos?

We cannot let these practices continue, and we cannot let platforms who are able to make substantive change continue to skirt their responsibilities.
