Hope Solo dances in Sepp Blatter’s ideal women’s kit

By Brooks Peck

"Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball. ... They could, for example, have tighter shorts."
-Sepp Blatter, FIFA President

U.S. women's team goalkeeper Hope Solo is taking part in "Dancing with the Stars" and for her latest routine, she wore a modified and bedazzled version of her purple national team kit that just might be what Sepp Blatter had in mind when he opened his big dumb mouth and called for "a more female aesthetic."

Granted, the heels could be more troublesome on the pitch and the shirt could lead to abdominal frostbite in the winter months, but Hope did a very good job of dancing in that getup. And since when has Sepp Blatter ever let fair and rational thinking get in the way of how he runs FIFA?
