The Real Reason
Langford continued: “These young swimmers aren’t being punished for wearing their suits in scandalous or provocative ways, but rather, because their ample hips, full chests, and dark complexions look different than their willowy, thin, and mostly pallid teammates. Some will argue this scandal has nothing to do with race. ..The issue becomes glaring when officials are overheard acknowledging that white athletes are baring too much skin as well, yet they’ve never been disqualified.”
A Privacy Violation
Coach Langford also shared that one of the parents at the meet secretly took a photo of Willis and had been circulating the photo by email to other parents and teachers at the school. The parent wrote: “Uniform violation!” Sometime shared that they overheard that parent say that “for the sake of their sons, the mother of these young ladies should cover up her daughters.”
