Badminton Controversy

A major issue within the Badminton World Federation: Should female badminton players be forced to wear skirts?
With the 2012 Olympics fast approaching, the Badminton World Federation is trying to pretty up its oft-overlooked sport, and courting controversy in the process.
In an effort to draw more fans and sponsors, the federation has decreed that, starting this week, elite-level female players must wear skirts and dresses. The new rule has been slammed as sexist and offensive — especially to the many Muslim players who must dress modestly for religious reasons. (They've been told that they can wear pants underneath their dresses and skirts.)

Is this dress code over the line?
Yes it is. They should be forced to wear bikinis.
