Table Tennis Needs More Fans; Solution: Women Should Dress Sexier

If only this was the answer to every world problem. Famine? Women should dress sexier. War? Women should dress sexier. You see where I'm going here. That's because I'm following the lead of Claude Bergeret—the Gandhi of ping pong. Bergeret is head of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). And he wants the women to dress more like Japan's Naomi Yotsumoto. Bergeret told Yahoo: "We are trying to push the players to use skirts and also nicer shirts, not the shirts that are made for men, but ones with more curves." Yotsumoto has already taken the suggestion to heart. Per Yahoo:"At the Japanese national championships last year, she played in a daring ensemble of her own design: knee socks, a pleated mini-skirt and a shirt that left one shoulder bare." One shoulder bare? You'll have to excuse me now. Table tennis women urged to wear shirts with curves [Yahoo]
