As a basketball player i understand the necessity for having proper shorts at an appropriate length for a game of sport. A little while ago i bought an excellent pair of navy blue mesh converse women's shorts. They were the perfect length being mid thigh, and they had a very comfortable and non see through cotton underlay and then the mesh stitched in on top. Imagine my disgust when i went to get a new pair that NO SPORTING GOOD store stock these types of women's shorts anymore... WHY NOT??? Are we not entitled to have a specific women's playing short anymore, or companies simply not making them anymore?? I was appalled at being told to buy the mens shorts which would need to be a junior size to fit and come down to either knee length or past, i cannot play in those shorts. The champion brand looked promising on the hanger, until you try them on to find that you need to go a size bigger than normal so their tiny shaped legs will fit which then leave them lose around your hips, they also have a nylon type see through clingy material under the mesh. I also refuse to step out onto the court in a pair of shorts that only just cover my ass if i'm lucky, i'm there to play a game of sport and get a work out, not show everyone what is underneath my shorts each time i move... Come on companies pick up your game, women are a major product buyer and also play sports (shockingly enough). All of the stores i visited, rebel sports, amart, Foot Locker to name a few had the same story, sorry we don't stock them anymore, everyone always asks for them but we just don't have them, if you want some go to the men's section... If anyone knows where i can find some please advise, otherwise companies why don't think about how much money you're losing by not stocking them, i can think of at least 10 people immediately who would buy them regularly..
