In past they have even had women change their bras/underwear if it wasn't white enough.

They check . Last I heard a lot of women just go braless at the tournament since there arent many good white bras.

Women not being allowed to vote used to be the rules

It used to be the rules that you HAD to be Christian, in medieval Europe

Let me know if you need more examples

Just cause something is the rule doesn't always mean it is right

I dunno, it seems in this case that it's an equalizer (everyone must wear all white) and both men and women must wear all white everything. Like if you want to compete at the tournament, just wear all white. Like white white. If they selectively enforce it, then that should be addressed, but dress codes aren't all evil.

My comment had nothing to do with that, and everything with you comparing a hat to slavery, and the other nonsense youre bringing up.

But okay, I read the article. The one from the OP? Thats awesome and all, but uh, theres nothing saying why Wimbledon is wrong.

hopefully youre not talking about that one Twitter response they highlighted. Better off just saying you have no idea about sports and are just trying to argue to argue.

...and it's not going to change until nobody shows up, or a highly lucrative sponsor pays a fuckton of money.

Caps (including the underbill), headbands, bandannas, wristbands and socks must be completely white except for a single trim of colour no wider than one centimetre.
Simple workaround:

if someone's argument is "them's the rules" pointing out that slavery was also once the rules serves to illustrate that sometimes the rules are dumb as fuck. it's not comparing a hat to slavery.

and yeah, you're on your bullshit. own up and again, please, shut the fuck up.

correct. again, and i don't know how some of you are missing this, there is no comparison of a hat to slavery, or now tennis to slavery. the point being made when slavery was brought up is that sometimes rules are stupid. take all the time you need to figure this out.

If you're going to have such a strict dress code why not just furnish clothing for the participants to select from and give it to them ahead of time so it has time to decently break in so participants can't be like "Oh i lost because these new clothes were too tight"?

Or do what most professional organizations seem to do and make them buy said clothes lol

No one's saying they're equally bad. In the sense of "both were the rules at one point, but should not be", it's a valid comparison - and no one is saying they're comparable in any other way besides that.

Ridiculous, comparing a tennis tournament to slavery.

It's their tournament, it's their dress code. If you don't like it you can watch and do something else. Nobody asked your opinion.

It's so American to nose into everything. Having no tradition apart from shooting firearms must suck eh?
