And I am looking for a mandatory policy vs. "This will make you more appealing to advertising scouts."
McDonald's should reintroduce if the U.S. wins, you win. We (Mom, Brother, Sister, Myself) spent that summer in Fresno and Sacramento, we wound getting so much free McDonald's food that summer. I think we actually paid for around 1/3 to 1/4 of the food we ate there. We had at least one meal a day there. I can remember my mom buying some drinks, burgers and fries, then winning free burgers on the drinks, free fries/drinks on the burgers, etc. We'd have 6-8 game pieces, look at the score board, and find we'd have to actually pay for say a burger and an order of fries, and have enough for each of us to have a meal. Then the free food would get us more free food.
It was clear that the thread had moved on from just the Olympics to professional sports in general but don't let that get in the way of a good huff.
I think it'd be great if teams had an assortment of acceptable uniform options, so long as whatever you're wearing is functional and in the appropriate team colours. Y'know, like the Fantastic Four.
Thank you. I saw that for the first time in some Bond movie and thought it was the funniest shit imaginable and no way could it be real. Imagine my surprise...
Why? Would it change the validity of the statement depending on the team? Are there different rules for different teams?
China won the first gold for shooting. Fuck sake, Americans. That's the one thing you should be good at.
So far I have only seen one example of it being an actual rule, as opposed to "this will make you more marketable if you choose to do it."
I'm more of a Special Olympics guy. Seriously, I've gone for work. They're no-shit, uinironically inspiring.
This conversation, between you and me. You suggested a teammate should be able to choose to wear a bikini. To which I responded that a teammate cannot choose anything other than the uniform. It matters not how many teams exist or none. Unless otherwise stated by the team, a teammate cannot choose to wear something else.
America has a different idea of shooting than the rest of the world. American shooters have a lot of ammo. When you live in a country where the number of bullets you have matters because you do not have an asston of them and a clip that holds a billion rounds, you tend to use accuracy in how you judge how well you shoot. In america it is all about how many bullets you can put in the area in a short amount of time. This is why collateral damage is not a bug, but a feature of our military and police force. This is also why we do not allow our police or military to go around willy nilly in any rich white areas and they seem to be only used in poor areas and for instances where black people are rioting.
Ok, so I've found one team from one country, playing one sport, where the bikini bottom appears to be an actual rule. Until I see it proven otherwise, the rest of the competitors in other sports are choosing what to wear.
They can choose to wear what they want until you prove otherwise. Some people do choose to wear skimpy and revealing attire.
That wasn’t my comment. Of course any one can wear anything they want. But if they are on a team and the team has a uniform, then they can’t choose to wear something else. I was not confirming or denying the existence of a team that requires bikinis. Only that if that is the uniform, they can’t choose to wear something else.
Some of my favourite work memories are the times an elderly supervisor drew the short straw and had to ask the new person to go home and change. My normally rude and insulting manager at the donut shop literally cried in her office before having to tell a morbidly obese new hire that "just wear black pants and a white shirt until your uniform arrives" didn't mean skipping a bra.
So if it's to remain hypothetical and in no way relating to the real world, great. If imaginary rules are imposed on imaginary people, they will comply with imaginary uniforms.
