Badminton Association Forces Women Players To Wear Skirts

Seems outrageous to me that girls are being forced to wear skirt to bring in more glamour to badminton so that it becomes appealing to spectators! If this is not treating women as sex objects, then nothing is. What dress a player wears is her business, as long as it is not obscene and vulgar. She should wear the dress in which she feels most convenient, physically and mentally. Her thoughts should not be diverted to issues like "where is my skirt at the moment...got to take care of it..."

 

I find it highly objectionable that such a dress code is being imposed on girls by world body.

Revival of Indo-Pak Cricket Ties after June 2011?

PCB is reporting that India may play cricket with Pakistan in Pakistan in near future. Considering Rana's confession that ISI was actively involved in 26/11 Mumbai attacks for which no one in Pakistan has been brought to justice, it seems a bit odd. I wonder how Indian public will view this. The other question is how keen Indian players would be to tour Pakistan after what happened to Sri Lankans. May be India will use this to force Pakistan's hand in bringing to justice people who had hand in 26/11 carnage.
