The *patriachy* in charge has determinly opted to show off the female figure in sport (whether for marketing reasons or otherwise) and this has been in evidence for decades (longer if you take into consideration historical moral attitudes and religious taboos) while women have had no other option but to *suck it up* (pardon the expression in this context if you will).
Surely, this has gone far enough. Isn’t it about time we let the players have a bloody say in everything to do with the sport kits they are required to play in? Who’s better placed to decide on the design and utlity of these uniforms but the athletes? FFS. When the ADF is considering new kit, it goes down to the users for trials and evaluation (I’ve been in some of these myself) because we demand the best from those users and it should be no different for sport kits.
Men are such mongrels (generalizing, of course :)

We will lose more than our top netball professionals. Netball is us. It's being played in NZ on school courts through to sold out stadiums.
What is going on here?RNZ Morning Report 1st July
Quote:
Silver Fern Amelia Walmsley says players will be forced to look overseas or leave netball altogether if Netball NZ doesn't quickly come up with a plan for the domestic competition."It baffles me and keeps me up at night, we wouldn't be having this conversation with an All Black. There is the biggest netball culture amongst NZ ... I can't quite figure it out.
"What makes me so sad is then what happens to little kids who dream of being a Silver Fern one day. It's heading into the next year and we don't know what that looks like and what pathway are we leaving for them if we don't have a strong domestic competition in New Zealand, what opportunities will they have?"

The main reason Cardiff Dragons failed to attract crowds in the city was the sheer cost. I’d have happily taken my kids to watch them if the ticket prices weren’t so high. Moving games to Liverpool won’t solve that problem.
Sidebar 1: plastic franchises with no link to a place can sod off. That may be how American sport does it, but we shouldn’t.
Sidebar 2: why does every Welsh franchise have to involve sodding dragons? Lazy.
