The shorts were deemed inappropriate, too risque for high school girls...
...their ruling, the Florida sports powers dismissed the girls' emulation of their more mature counterparts. Whether or not bun-huggers resemble, as alleged, a piece of sexy lingerie, disallowing the running attire common among college-aged and professional runners is perpetuating the girls' adolescence. The Florida sports powers denied the girls their womanhood along with their dreams of glory...
