Billie Jean King Slams French Open Over Serena's Catsuit Ban

According to the Huffington Post, Billie Jean King slammed French Open officials over the weekend for “policing women’s bodies” after they banned Serena Williams’ “catsuit” in tournament play. French Tennis Federation President Bernard Giudicelli announced last week that the French Open was instituting a new dress code for players, and pointedly noted that Williams’ skintight black bodysuit would no longer be allowed. King — and others — saw the ban as a much larger issue of men determining what women can wear. King said it was disrespectful to criticize clothing choices made by a phenomenal tennis player like Williams:.
