Not sure if it's been discussed but what is with some of the women's shorts being folded under. I see it on every team I've watched. Is this a fabric malfunction or is it some kid of weird style now?

I think it’s just player preference. I know when I played baseball, I was always a high sock guy. I could not stand it when my pants stretched all the way down. It felt like something was restricting my knee and I felt slower. I have a feeling the baggier basketball ahorts that can get down to the knees annoy some people so they are rolling them up a bit.

1- the cut isnt exactly ideal for many players.
2- even if the cut fits, players may prefer shorts and/or jerseys worn differently.

3- have you seen men's basketball in the last 2 seasons? Half of em rock short shorts that would have put Magic and Bird to shame back in the 70s. But now they wear compression shorts underneath so their junk isnt all over the place. Its an interesting look- the sudden 180 away from basketball shorts that fall just below the knee by many players.

It's a girl-thing. all of them on all my daughter's soccer teams did it - didn't matter how the shorts fit, there were gonna roll the top.

I mentioned this to my wife while watching the game and she said it’s popular with females to tuck the bottom of their shorts into the bottom of the compression shorts or short tights they wear underneath. Not sure why they do it, perhaps has to do with sweat or not wanting the long shorts to hit their knees.

You didn't like it when Mama June rocked the camel toe for Ole Miss?
