Women's boxing will make its debut at this year's Olympic Games in London -- a huge victory for female boxers who have fought for years to be taken seriously. But now it seems their participation will come with an outrageous catch: female boxers might be required to wear miniskirts in the ring.
The Amateur International Boxing Association (AIBA) is reportedly considering the new dress code because it thinks skirts will make the female athletes look "elegant" and help "distinguish" them from their male counterparts.

I can only imagine how uncomfortable it would be to get the living shit knocked out of you in a miniskirt, by someone who is likewise in a miniskirt. I will sign the petition, but I will also go one step further. Should it fail, I propose that men also be required to wear miniskirts while boxing. Face it, the sport isn't that entertaining as is. Lets spice it up a bit.
