[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there should be a "skimpy" clothing day where both teams have to play in sports bras and boy shorts.  Now, THAT I'd pay to go see.  Make that Pride night too, and you may get twice as many fans.

Seriously, there is nothing wrong with a Pride night, but I grow tired of the politicization of sports. If these differences weren't called out so ceremoniously, perhaps people wouldn't treat each other so differently. To me it perpetuates bias by over emphasizing what's different than what is the same, and stigmatizes them as substantially different, so much so they must be apologized to by having with a special day, event, or month. I.e. if no one makes a big deal about someone's race, religion, age, gender, or sexual preference then it will cease to be a big deal.[/quote]

You want skimpy clothing day but are complaining about sexualization?  That's exactly what sexualization is:  using these player's bodies to sell tickets.    [/quote]

I guess you didn't see where I wrote the word "seriously" at the start of the second paragraph.  That's called a joke. Also - I did not complain about sexualization, I complained about politicization, which is what this thread is really about despite the OP's choice of the wrong terminology in the topic headline. Good to see that your reading comprehension is limited.  BTW - if the men's soccer teams want to have a shirtless night, that's fine too.  Equal opportunity for all to monetize what humans (be it women or other men) find naturally attractive.  Yes, that is also tongue in cheek for any of you not quite bright enough to follow.[/quote]
