The Norwegian’s women’s handball team was fined 1,500 euros (£1,295) for what was deemed “improper clothing” at the 2021 European Beach Handball Championships last week.
I’m very proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team for protesting the very sexist rules about their “uniform”. The European handball federation should be fined for sexism.
Good on ya, ladies. I’ll be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up,” the singer-songwriter tweeted. Online users showed support for the sports team and called for the sporting uniform rules to be changed. “When the men play a sport wearing long shorts and tank tops, but the women are required to wear bikini tops and bottoms, that is sexism!
