Mohd Abdullah wearing a pair of the offending shorts

Yoga instructor, Mohd Abdullah likes short shorts, but his students aren’t so thrilled. According to Clint Andersen, sport development supervisor with the City of Kamloops, British Columbia, there have been “a series of attire-related complaints” lodged against Abdullah’s brief briefs.

He has been warned twice by officials at the Tournament Capital Centre, the city’s largest recreational center, that the shorts are too short, but Abdullah has refused to give them up, claiming the warnings are sexist.  He defends himself by saying:

“I think it is discriminating and at the same time, I think it is a double standard. Here you have women that are wearing shorts that are half my size and with, excuse my lingo, the boobs half falling [out] — and that’s acceptable.”

I think it’s possible that never having come face to uh, face with the back end of his downward dog, Abdullah over-estimates its attractiveness. Of course, he is a yoga instructor, so he maybe he has seen things from everyone else’s perspective…
