Badminton World Federation enforces skirt policy on female players

In what is being called an outrageous act in the 21st century, the age of gender equality, the Badminton World Federation has recently enforced the rule that all female players have to wear skirts on the court.
Players and associations from all over the world have protested against this calling it the "sexualisation of athletes".
It has sparked so muh controversy that the Federation is rethinking its rule and even considering scrapping it completely.
The Federation says it feels misunderstood, as they were only trying to up the sport's popularity with a finicky media. And short skirts on long female legs would do the trick.
Unfortunately, badminton is a hug sport in Asia where Muslim majorities enjoy the sport.
Many feel this rule strips them of their chance to play at the elite professional level as it conflicts with their religious Islamic dress code.
Says Sarah Murray, learn director of Women Win, an Amsterdam-based international women’s rights organization of this skirt-policy:
"There could be incredible pride in a woman in full Hijab winning at the elite level in that outfit," said Murray. "And this policy strips that woman of that choice."
I agree, Ms Murray. I hope they scrap it and give women the choice we deserve. But in a world fueled by materialism and sexual encounters of every kind, I doubt that'll happen.
