3. Pink offered to pay the fine the Norway women’s beach handball team received for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms at the European Beach Handball Championships.

P!nk @Pink

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. Good on ya, ladies. I’ll be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up.
