Burkini or Bust

The article fails to deal with what is perhaps the most important aspect of the matter, which is the context in which it arose. The controversy, such as it is, began with the spectacle of Muslim women wearing these stupid floppy leotard-like things while playing volleyball. My guess is that if the Burkini Movement becomes ingrained that the sport itself will die. Who the hell would even want to watch women's volleyball if it were not for the skimpy bikinis which are now the trend?

One final thought, conflating the burkini w a wetsuit simply means that the author has most likely never surfed California beaches...
