Swimsuit police on the job!

Thicker volleyball players (and certainly their parents) by and large absolutely hate the skimpy-panties look, but are shouted down by gung-ho coaches who play the "volleyball purist" role and use it to fat-shame the players and implicitly harangue them to lose weight.

 

Yes, obviously discretion must be used. But I never quite understood why it's OK for athletes to wear revealing uniforms while playing in front of thousands of fans live, but wrong for a newspaper to run an action photo from that same game.

 

We used to get photos like that anonymously sent back to us with the belly button circled. I much preferred that creeper to the one who drew facial and armpit hair on female athletes' photos and mailed them in.

 

This sort of thing is exactly what happens when kids are constantly badgered to remember to floss.

 

We had a photog who went to the nude beach in Malibu every lunch hour. Then he struck gold by getting credentialed for the Miss Nude America pageant. There was a “Women In Sports” file hidden safely in our department.
