And every kid watches WWE; what about the tights those wrestlers wear? Water polo? Diving?
There is one difference. It's subtle but major in the minds of most everyone. You were undressing. Mind you, you exposed less flesh than an average 8 year old can see on the Internet in two mouse clicks, is not the point.

People have these screwed up, crossed eyed myopias. Porn is the Number One viewed content on the Internet. Same porn viewers shriek when you appear that you might actually expose your privates in public.

It's not fair, it's not logical but most of life isn't. Buck up. Pick your battles wisely. This isn't one you will win so go to your car, undress there.

Parents can pay extra tax money so that an umpire's room can be contructed, or at least unlocked by the city. Or they can simply tell their kids to look away. Or, as fitump said, they can STFU and endure the ungodly sight of another man's thighs..
Whoa there Wild Pony, my thighs are a thing of beauty. Not what I said. I undress in my car. If someone happens along when I take care not to go public, in a very uncomforable sitch, then I have zip tolerance for the complaints.
