Stupidity Personified

[Canary42]

The crusty old authorities at Wimbledon need to get real.

Shock,horror, a black bra-strap is momentarily visible.

... but at least in not fining her they stopped short of really making fools of themselves

[murraymints]

Omg....that's not real!

[Sqad]

Wimbledon has it rules and wearing a black bra under a white top is unacceptable..............and for the men too;-)

Some people think (not me) that a black bra under a see through blouse is the sign of a "slapper."

I agree, being "told off" is adequate.

[murraymints]

Was not see through Sqad....a tiny bit of strap showed, otherwise nobody would have known.perhaps it is a good sports bra for which she is sponsored.

[stuey]

Bloody backwards Canadians: absolutely no sense of sartorial style whatsoever...Herruumph!

[Sqad]

murray....I know.......I didn't say it was see-through.
You assumed i was referring to the tennis player..........

[Canary42]

Bra bra, black bra, are you showing through
Yes sir, yes sir, three times too
One for the girls
One for the boys
And one for the Wimbos to throw out their toys.

[Sqad]

Very good ^^^

[maggiebee]

Must be a slow news day!

[murraymints]

Would have been a big problem if she wasn't wearing one !

[stuey]

Well, Eugenie is a bit of a strapping lass, isn't she?

[mushroom25]

all the competitors are aware of the strict dress code at Wimbledon, ie white.

if they don't like it, no-one forces them to take part. if they do take part, it kinda implies they accept the conditions that go with it.

[Mamyalynne]

They argue every year about the 'all white' dress code rule - either comply or take your chances.

[murraymints]

And who lines them up to check their pants ?

[Canary42]

Which, mushroom, was why my barb was aimed at the rule MAKERS and not the rule BREAKER.

[cleggie]

if they dont impose the all white code then it will end up like cricket.they were all white and now wear anything.never right.now getting same with snooker,wear what they want.it does have to stop and be regulated

[Canary42]

I wasn't aware snooker ever regulated underwear. And their balls are coloured after all.

[mushroom25]

that said, the entire wimbledon tournament is an anachronism. it's the only grand slam (or major) tournament played on grass, and requires a very different technique (from that required for clay) to play successfully. in the past the top players would use the UK tournaments at Queens, Eastbourne, etc to get practice but most now don't have the time for that.

[Quizmonster]

The proper name of the game is lawn tennis, after all, so grass was clearly the surface it was meant to be played on. They're all out of step but us!

[agchristie]

Out of form but with the right support she will be back ;)

"stupidity personified" - you're the expert there!
