I was pleased to see the mainstream media focus on the masters response to the suits. And a fairly balanced article too; many articles about the suit don't seem to be very complimentary to the sport but this one seemed okay.
I thought the article was meh, though our existence is acknowledged, I guess. :) There was still some implicit anti-suit bias (e.g., we want to go faster and "don't care how" or some such phrasing). And it made us seem almost ridiculously fragile -- dislocating a shoulder putting on a suit?! What about racing? The "moral" stuff is just beyond tedious to me ...
I never realized zippers were such a hot topic for us geezers. I thought the Arena X-Glides with no zipper that, for example, Rebecca Soni wore looked just dandy.
