    Tights aren't pants even if you're an Olympian.

    ETA: leggings, jeggings, tights, who gives a shit, we're not trying to look at vulva outlines all the goddamn time.

    Bets on how long it takes someone to get all fussy about how the athletes are stepping on the American flag and that's treason and disrespectful to our vets and all olympians are communists.

    Whelp, I guess I'm in the minority, but I like this. I think everybody looks good.

    For you naysayers, at least it isn't this:

      Okay, place bets now, what country / athlete will pull a rainbow flag out of their jacket and carry it high during the opening ceremony? I hope America, but France or Canada might be more likely...

        I think Germany is. Their uniforms for the opening ceremony I believe are rainbow.

      Something seems a little unfair about the men getting to wear actual pants, while the women get leggings or tights.

        I think the men should wear the leggings if the women have to.

      For christsakes, leggings-are-not-pants people.....these are not leggings.....they're fucking athletic tights, which you wear for fucking working out and competing. Are you fucking stunned?! Yeah, not appropriate for the office, but obviously appropriate for an athletic competition. As a track and field athlete, I live in these fucking things 20+ hrs a week. Normal 'pant' would blow ass, due to excess material, restricted movement, and friction.....but yeah, you're totally right....when I train/compete, I should totally wear uncomfortable pants so that I don't upset your weird legging-pants sensibilities. Get a hobby.

        YES why aren't people listening to you!???! It would be like criticizing gymnasts for wearing leotards or wrestlers for wearing singlets. Yes, I wouldn't dress that way at the mall, either, but athletic clothing exists for a reason, and if that reason is at the Olympics, good on you!

        EXACTLY. It's the Olympics, for christsakes......it's a sporting event. Practical is the way to go because then the athletes have something that they can actually wear again instead of some ridiculous costume that is a one wear wonder. Silly them, for dressing in athletic clothes at an athletic event. I think some people just don't know what legging really are. Would you wear a fucking sweater or tunic with athletic tights? NO. So therefore, they aren't fucking leggings. Goddamn it.

      I have always said you could wrap Shaun White in tinfoil and I would still find him sexy. I guess the Olympics are trying to call my bluff.
