8. Those uniforms are demeaning.

However, it is not just the coaches pushing it. Often on the teams, if put to a vote, a majority would vote in favor of dressing that way. Even if you make 2 teams, one that is dressed better, they will still have to compete with each other for TV attention.

So, should we have laws that limit how short dresses can be? If so, some will so those women are being oppressed by males. In Islamic countries, women have to cover up completely for this reason.

So the question, then, is how much clothes, or what system of rules, gives dignity to women? Should everyone vote on this? Just women? Just the players on the team? Or should the viewers vote with their dollars? Who do we blame if demeaning dress continues? Men?
