Your article is excellent, I completely agree except for short in softball. As a former softball player (I’m actually playing this summer again after 5 years) I prefer shorts over those gawd awful nylon pants. I don’t disagree that women need to respect themselves as athletes, but it also about the comfort. The shorts are nowhere near as sexy as they are made out to be, first one would have to where sliding shorts, with lots of padding, another pair of coloured shorts to match the team colours, plus the knee high socks and sliding pads that go over the knee down midway calf. so really there isn’t anything sexy about it. They are far more comfortable and you don’t rip your skin open (believe it or not) like you would if you wore the pants and a plus is that when its scorching hot out you can pull the knee pads down and get some air. This issue is really a preference thing however you are bang on, thank you for a great article.

So well stated! Very troubling, indeed. Let’s get on the “what to do about it….” maybe start a revolution? It is about time!
