I noticed an odd little sports article today on Google news and MSNBC (their article is now mysteriously missing) about Austria and Germany’s women’s soccer team playing a match topless (with painted on jerseys).
Now, as a woman that is interesting, but not particularly fascinating (half my time is spent around topless women after all).
What struck me as funny, however, is that none of the American papers showed any pictures of it….uhm…ok. This is news right?
Damn and tarnation, this country is prude (and quite a few other countries’ papers weren’t showing anything much either). [I'll spare you the rant how it is OK to splash just about any sort of graphic violence on the news, but women playing sports topless is a 'no no.' ]
I finally tracked down some pictures for you guys from a New Zealand (!) news website.
Here they are:
