Does this annoy you?
28 Answers
It is fairly obvious to anybody with seven brain cells that all professional atheletically powered sports require a degree of fitness.
It is therefore equally obvious that said sportsmen will have a fit and healthy body. Even the notable media stereotyped "fatties" like Jan Molby, Sir Ian Botham and Gazza still had a fairly good physique compared to the vast majority of normal people.
Why, therefore, do sportmen, inparticularly footballers and 100 meters sprinters take their sports top off at the nearest available opportunity.
I refer to players being substituted or after the whistle has blown. It's straight off with the shirt so the Sky Sports can see their pecs and latts. But the most annoying is the sprinters who do not even break sweat. As soon as they are over the finishing line it's off with the lycra top. Why??
Can they not wait for the twenty second walk to the changing rooms?
The world can see they already have a perfect body. I think this is a recent phenomena. I can not recall Allan Wells, Roger Black or the supreme Daley Thompson doing this. And I think it is safe to say that Daley Thompson had one of the fittest looking bodies ever, and I never even saw his naked torso.
Does this peac0ck display of male bravado annoy you as well? In my youth it is fair to say I had a fairly healthy looking body, but apart from the beach NEVER took my shirt off in public.
Rant over.

well there are several reasons why in my opinion...
1) they are hot and sweaty, when I do sport I cant get my clothes off fast enough once I have to change, obviously not being a man I cant just take off my top outside!!
2) they work hard and have no personal body hang ups and people who are like that dont have any qualms about removing clothes, I dont see it as showing off but, that said if they work hard to get the body they have then they have every right to show it.
just as we all take pride in our own accomplishments, they take pride in the work thats given them a good body

much as i dislike tim henman cazz he was as high as number 4 in the world and that is one hell of an achievement with the depth in mens tennis, plus he made 5 grand slam semi finals and was top 10 consistently for a number of years all done with those silly women baying and shouting at wimbledon, and tessa Saunderson was an olympic champion which was the pinnacle of her sport
bob, Im guessing she went on top
