Pink has offered to pay the fine levied against the Norwegian Women’s Handball Team, who were slammed with a $1,765.28 fine by European Handball Federation for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms.
Per People, the singer said she is willing to pay the entirety of the fine after the EHF said the women played in “improper clothing” over their collective decision.
“I’m VERY proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team FOR PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES ABOUT THEIR ‘uniform,’” Pink also wrote on Twitter. “The European handball federation SHOULD BE FINED FOR SEXISM. Good on ya, ladies. I’ll be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up.”
The International Handball Federation’s rules state that “female athletes must wear bikini bottoms… with a close fit and cut on an upward angle toward the top of the leg. The side width must be of a maximum of 10 centimeters.”
