Olympic Nonsense

They have banned the swimsuits worn by the Spanish synchronized swimmers at the Olympics. Apparently, they are too flashy.

At the same time, however, they are urging women who play table tennis (ping pong) to wear skirts and shirts that show curves to increase viewers.

Oh, and have they seen what the female beach volley ball players wear?!?!?

Shouldn't the attire of an athlete have everything to do with comfort and performance? I obviously do not know what I am talking about.

I agree, wear what works best for performance!  I'm also not as interested in the olympics left, and particularly in the coverage of the sports that NBC deems appropriate to cover, so I have not been tuning in as much.
