This morning Kristine Lilly and Hope Solo were on the Today Show and brought some with them (it was too cold to wear them).

They cannot possibly be serious.

Somehow, this harkens back to "A League of Their Own" where the players had to wear shirts.
Several of them said they spent whole seasons with rasberry thighs.

"Tighter shorts, for example," Blatter told SonntagsBlick. "In volleyball the women also wear other uniforms than the men. Pretty women are playing football today. Excuse me for saying that."

Umm. You're not excused. How much older is this dude than all of the players?

Yep, that's the official supplier of the entire league... The ladies have the skorts as a uniform "option" just as players can typically choose between short sleeves, 3/4 sleeves or full sleeves... Now they have the shorts/skorts options...

(Don't let the Ducks get any ideas for football, that would add another 465,789 uniform options)
