In those shorts, maybe even an arrest would be apropo...

I don't think so- probably just get a lot of shit for it.

I don't know if they passed a rule and just grandfathered John Stockton, but he NEVER wore the bogus baggy long "shorts."

Re: The NFL is a joke....
SH prefers shorts that women typically wear. Because then he can convince himself that men in short shorts are actually women, and therefore those men's accomplishments in sport can also be attributed to women.ASUMountaineer wrote:"Bogus?"

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

I agree there shouldn't be "short" shorts ala the 1970s and earlier that only went to upper or mid thigh. Basketball evolved from that to normal loose shorts that go to lower thigh the knee. Then it evolved in the last 15-20 years to going down to your calves, which aren't shorts. More like baggy capris.

Why is so important that you'd quit watching sports because of clothing? Especially clothing that covers up more of the men. Just sayin...BDKJMU wrote:I pretty much quit watching basketball when they went to wearing baggy capris.ASUMountaineer wrote:
