It's the Australian national champioonships - I would say that's rather professional. I might as well have dug up a picture from the Olympics, but it seems to me no proof could make you depart from your weird sexual hang-ups. Show me a picture of a professional runner wearing "shorts" below his knee.
My private school had us wear shorts that short for athletic class and events.
Needless to say I wore sweats all the time.
Unless the shorts come to my knees I refuse to wear them.
And I barely wear shorts anyway.
I just do not like anyone seeing my body unless it was a lady I was about to have intimate relations with when I was sexually active and dating.
At the least a baggy tshirt and shorts when I am at home and if I answer the door I'm changing into some long sweats.

Nice try. I never said below the knees. Most wear them at or just slightly above. Definitely not mid-thigh or shorter. Also, we're talking about the U.S. not Australia. You might as well have put up pics of Borneo tribesmen.
Oh I'm watching Monday Night Football and on the pre-game show Ben Roethlisberger is wearing shorts at the knee.
That's Sammy Wanjiru, one of the greatest marathoners of the last few years, died last year at only 24 years old after falling from a balcony. He won gold in the marathon at the 2008 Olympics.
Said to be a drinker and carouser when not running 2:06 marathons, and had two wives-- '2 star general' in Kenyan parlance. His death was likely the outcome of a dispute regarding this. Whether accident, homocide, or suicide is still uncertain. RIP Sammy.
Runners are always looking for the minutest of edges, and thus don't like the long baggy shorts. Too much extra weight & added wind resistance.

I don't know about now, but I'm pretty sure marathon runners still wear those short shorts (about mid-thigh). It certainly makes more sense than wearing longer shorts that restrict movement.
I wanna hear more complaints about overweight women wearing 'shorts' that show off their ass-cheeks. I'm not gay but I'd rather see a fit guy sporting shorts like that, just as I'm sure women would rather see a fit girl than an overweight man in mini-shorts.

There, troll. This one was taken at the US Olympic trials. Are they American enough for you? Do they make you feel excited?
