The team had reportedly been planning the protest for weeks ... hoping to put the spotlight on the differences in what the men and women are told to wear during competition -- men can wear much longer shorts, while women are forced to wear skimpy bottoms.

The players decided on Sunday's game to make their statement ... with the whole team rocking shorts during their bronze medal matchup with Spain at the European Beach Handball Championships in Bulgaria.

The European Handball Federation fined each player 150 euros -- a tad short of $177 -- for the uniform violation ... which the Norwegian Handball Federation has vowed to pay.

This is from 2019...

These are the kinds of rules we should all totally support.

There are a couple on the team who are afraid their balls will peek out.

I actually don't mind this. There shouldn't be a double standard for men and women. Let's be honest though, a huge reason people watch women's volleyball is because of the bikini bottoms.

I don't normally agree with all this wokeness, but in this case they are right. Why do the women wear skimpy outfits while the men don't? Only one reason and the women are right to object.

Agreed

I agree with the ruling. The girls were thong, I mean wrong. We can’t have people altering a uniform standard.
