They could fine the Norwegian handball team from Beach because she decided to change the uniform with which she participates in the Tokyo 202-2021 Olympic Games to wear shorts instead of a thong… And Pink wants to pay the amount!
The Olympic Games have 125 years of history and in that time various scandals have arisen, some of them related to international politics and others to social phenomena such as discrimination. That seems to be the case for the Norwegian Women’s Beach Handball Team and the controversy that arose when they decided to change their uniform.
What is the uniform of the Norwegian Beach Handball Team?
As indicated by members of the team on their social networks, there is no sporting reason for such a difference between outfits, much less functional reasons for having to wear a thong instead of shorts. The rules stipulate that players must wear tight-fitting panties cut similar to a bikini and not exceeding 10.16 cm in length. Literally a thong. Men, on the other hand, can play with shorts.
It also vibrates with…
That is why they appeared at one of the matches held at the 2020-2021 Tokyo Olympics with shorts instead of a thong at the bottom of the uniform, which is bikini style.
However, for this act they could face a heavy sanction. Fortunately, the singer Pink announced on her official Twitter account that she not only agreed with these sneakers, but that she was also willing to pay the fine, which would amount to 150 euros and that each player would have to pay.
“I am SO proud of the Norwegian women’s beach handball team FOR PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES ON THEIR ‘uniform’. The European Handball Federation SHOULD BE FINED FOR SEXISM. Good for you ladies. I will be happy to pay the fines for you. Keep in that way.»
They translate the words of the American singer.
