Slate Article: Why Are Guys Afraid to Wear Speedos?

[Byron]

...all board short wearers suffer a massive inferiority complex ?

(interesting observation - have to agree about the goods on the table - the car keys should preferably have attached a fob of a prestigious marque of course).

Btw how did the canny Scots learn about the sporran ? - there is both a container for the valuables and a frontal protection of the valuable junk in one.

maybe they just wear board shorts because they like them. Hmmmm.

I thought I would post this to emphasise the male/female difference.
If the Lions were having their recreation time on the beach wouldn't it be nice if they were left alone to wear their own speedos (if they so wished) ?
But no - regulation black shorts rule and they all conform and all are of the Adidas brand of course so every appearance is no doubt strictly governed by sponsorship contracts. Is there any sport in the world where that company has not penetrated to create a near monopoly? ( I am beginning to wonder how soon it is before no swimwear will be allowed at all on even public beaches unless it is one of their products).

Sydney Roosters RFC seem to have the right idea:
