Washington [US], July 27 (ANI): Pop singer Pink has extended support to the Norwegian women s beach handball team in their protest against the European Handball Federation (EHF).
According to CNN, last week, EHF fined the team a total of 1,500 euros (around $1,765), stating that the women competed in improper clothing by wearing shorts during the 2021 European Beach Handball Championships.
The EHF s decision has been criticised worldwide. Pink, too, slammed the organisation over its sexist rules .
Taking to Twitter, she wrote: I m very proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team for protesting the very sexist rules about their uniform.
