Pink Offers to Pay Fines for Norway’s Women’s Beach Handball Team Over Uniform Rules

Recording artist Pink offered to pay the fines of Norway's women's beach handball team after the players took issue with their required uniform at a recent tournament.

The European Handball Federation said it fined the team €1,500 for wearing "shorts that are not according to the Athlete Uniform Regulations defined in the IHF Beach Handball Rules of the Game."

Pink applauded the players "FOR PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES" regarding uniforms:

P!nk

I’m VERY proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team FOR PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES ABOUT THEIR “uniform”. The European handball federation SHOULD BE FINED FOR SEXISM.
