Exactly. I think the problem here is people like this mom having sexual thoughts in a non-sexual setting and not knowing how to deal with it. Welcome to life, lady.

Wow it must be a slow local news cycle for that town.

I don't even understand the issue. The article says the girls can wear normal "square" spandex or bunners. Alright, choose the other one then. I'll admit bunners in high school does seem a little odd, usually you only see college runners wearing them. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to have those as an option if I was a high school girls coach, but if we already had them, or the girls really wanted them, then sure. It would be one thing if the school was forcing them to wear bunners, there should definetly be another option. But, the article clearly states there is another option. Cool! Wear something else and move on.

But regardless, just wear what you want to wear, don't go on a crusade involving everybody just because you don't like what your daughter was wearing. Ultimately, your daughter chose to wear them instead of the normal spandex, so maybe just be mad at her instead of wanting to ban them for everyone?

Man. Parents need to do something with their lives.

A few years ago we had to practice at an elementary school when our track was being redone.

A mother complained that the boys were not wearing shirts and there were little kids. I asked her if she ever went to the beach or a public school.

She shut up.

People just want to complain.

As a high school coach I had to deal with a new high school girls coach not wanting the boys to go without shirts. She didn't talk to me about it, she went straight to the A.D. My boys hid their shirts under car wheels and went out for runs. Sometimes the girls had hid or stolen their shirts by the time the boys came back. (The girls had time to do this as they probably ran about 3 miles per day, while we were running about seven on average.)

This woman has coached there for at least 25 years and the only good teams she had were her first two because she inherited a state champion team. Almost every year they are in the bottom 3 or 4 teams out of 13 in a weak conference.

I would like to see a rule for how skimpy high school uniforms could be. But if they cannot get one then anything goes. As a man coaching little girls I do not feel comfortable with the bikinis at that level but if they run faster that way you have to do it.

Get help and/or quit coaching girls.

I would be uncomfortable giving bun huggers to my HS girls. I let them choose their uniform.

Thank you.

ummmm excuse me you bigots women need to be sexualized as early as possible

I hate to sound like a feminist, but there's no good reason young girls need to wear bun huggers for cross country or track. Volleyball girls don't need to wear those shorts. Its nothing short of childhood sexualization. Really.

Then don't sexualize them. Simple.

This is a complete non-issue. If the school was forcing the girls to wear the bun-huggers, then that could be problematic, but they were given a choice. This parent needs to stop acting like the moral police of the world and let children and their own parents decide what is best for them to wear as racing attire. If anyone is sexualizing these kids, she is doing it the most.

The way I read it, the school bought the uniforms before the season. The rules allow for options, but the school only has what they already bought.

If you are thin enough to run cross country, it shouldn't matter. The ones complaining are probably fatties.

Or gymnastics.

I'm pretty sure teams choose to wear bun huggers or not... This decision is made by the girls. Now, if a coach forces girls to wear them then that might be different. But from that picture, some girls were wearing bun huggers and others were not.

Bet she will have no problem with her daughter looking like a 2 dollar whore come prom time? Ever see what girls are wearing to a prom these days?

People! Once again, the rule here is PICs!!

Please post examples of the subject of debate.

It is quite possible for women to compete in athletic events wearing suitably modest athletic costume that does not display all of their charms to the perverted attentions of men, as the women's high jump at the 1908 Olympics plainly demonstrated:
