Its one of the greatest pictures in sport. Although people now think that Nike told her to do it.

 Well, who knows......maybe SD knows more about bras than I do.

  I don't doubt the authenticity of your pic.....but sports bras have been popular since the late 70's.[/DIV]

Among the commenters was Brandi Chastain, a former member of the U.S. National Women's Soccer Team. Chastain, who won two World Cup titles and two Olympic gold medals, knows a little something about controversial cover photos. At the 1999 World Cup, she scored the championship-clinching goal and tore off her jersey in celebration to reveal her sports bra — a moment that landed her on the covers of Sports Illustrated, Time and Newsweek. [p class="textBodyBlack"][span id="byLine"][/span]The celebration touched off an array of discussions about feminism, propriety, the impact it had on young girls, and, more simply, whether Chastain took off her jersey spontaneously or as a stunt.

  No....you don't.  You know about this incident.  You know the results of this incident.  You know about Nike sales.  

  You don't know that Nike came on to the scene YEARS after sports bras became popular.  You DON'T know that women (myself included) were wearing sports bras 20 years before that incident.

sports bra revival, it became cool to wear it just working out and not covered by anything. Everytime you a woman working out in a sports bra without a t-shirt on, look to that incident.

I think your ovaries are out of whack.  You're trying to tell a woman about womens apparell that was invented before you were born and worn by a woman (me) before you were born.
