Pink offers to pay 'sexist' fines for Norwegian women’s beach handball team after they opted to wear shorts
Fox News
The team received a disciplinary fine of 1,500 euros – roughly $1,700 – for "improper clothing" as the women traded their high-cut bikini bottoms for thigh-length elastic shorts during their bronze medal match against Spain in protest to the rule.
"I’m VERY proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team FOR PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES ABOUT THEIR 'uniform,'" Pink write on Twitter. "The European handball federation SHOULD BE FINED FOR SEXISM. Good on ya, ladies. I’ll be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up." It took no time for tennis legend Billie Jean King to usher in her own support of the Norwegian team and denounced the double standard as it pertains to male athletes and "sexualization" of women athletes.More Related News
