Men In Sports

[Wilma]

I watch a lot of football, basketball and baseball and I have reached a conclusion.  Only baseball men are real men.  All you have to do is look at what they wear.  Football players wear knee pants.  Basketball players wear culottes.  Only baseball players wear long pants.  And they chew and spit and scratch.

Wilma,
What about boxers. Tyson "chewed" off Holyfield's ear and "spit" it out !!! Er, I hope he spit it out !!!!

[Rudy Taylor]

Yuck, Jarhead!

Wilma, I think you're right. 

What I've noticed is the trend in recent years for basketball players to wear those baggy culottes. I'm surprised any athlete would want so much fabric flapping around his or her knees. I know the short pants looked funny, too, but they appeared to be more practical than these loose fitting things they wear today.

Hey - don't forget the wrestlers. They don't wear pants at all.     

and . . .

The clothes they do wear are soooo tight you know there's no padding!     



(BTW - I'm talking about the college and high school wrestlers .)

BUTTTTTT Under those baggy culottes there are so VERRRRRRY tight Speed-os...............you have to be aware-- and check this out when they land on the floor with legs flying~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

[Rudy Taylor]

I couldn't get a speed-o over my little toe.

And that's assuming I still HAVE toes. Haven't seen them in three decades.

[Wilma]

Thank goodness for those Speedos when a player falls with his legs up in front of full camera.

Well, I thought the baggy shorts was so they could keep the area between their knees air conditioned.
After all that sweating, has got to create a lot of itching and it isn't good to itch with all the camera's on them.
Course, what goes on in the locker room, can get my imagination going full blast.

UGH!

What goes on in the locker room......stays in the locker room!!
