The players didn’t wear shorts, but from the pictures, I wouldn’t say that they were “fully covered.” Stories about Pakistan often suffer from a lack of fact-checking.

In other news, girlies are definitely getting more violent, both verbally and physically, on the field. Gone are the sweet, sweet days when you were socially ostracized for a petty (non) reason…. sigh…
