I’m still not sure I buy the argument, even regarding Track & Field.
As I understand it, in the “Original Olympics” (Ancient Greece), all the contestants ran nude. I tend to think the modern Olympians, male and female tend to wear what they wear not to expose body parts but to optimize their chances of winning. Should they be wearing baggy shorts or sweat pants for the sake of modesty in the 100m dash? Should men and women wear bathing suits circa 1900 in the swimming competitions?
I am still not persuaded that women are hurting their chances of being taken seriously by the way they currently dress, at least when talking about athletes. Hollywood? That’s a topic unto itself.
