Pink offers to pay fine for Norwegian women's handball team amid protests over their 'sexist' uniform

Pink is prepared to foot the bill after the Norwegian women's beach handball team were fined!

The 'So What' singer, 41, shared her support for the 10-member team who refused to wear bikini bottoms when competing in the European Beach Handball Championships.

"I'm VERY proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team FOR PROTESTING THE VERY SEXIST RULES ABOUT THEIR 'uniform,'" Pink wrote on Twitter over the weekend. "The European handball federation SHOULD BE FINED FOR SEXISM. Good on ya, ladies. I'll be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up."

The team was issued a fine of US$1,765 (approx. $2,399) after wearing shorts in their match against Spain.

The International Handball Federation (IHF)'s rules state, "Female athletes must wear bikini bottoms… with a close fit and cut on an upward angle toward the top of the leg. The side width must be of a maximum of 10 centimetres."

Meanwhile, Norway's Handball Federation defended the women's choice to break the dress code rules.

"I got a message 10 minutes before the match that they would wear the clothing that they were satisfied with. And they got our full support," NHF President Kåre Geir Lio told NBC News.
