The U.S. Open has a lot of thoughts about tennis -- and women's boobs.
On Wednesday, French tennis player Alizé Cornet walked onto the court of the U.S. Open and realized that her shirt was on backwards. Instead of running to the women's locker room, Cornet took off her shirt in public and then put it on the right way.
Umpire Christian Rask then charged her with a code violation, prompting necessary amounts of outrage.

Alternatively, it's possible she just didn't care about a couple of randos seeing her in a sports bra.
Either way, the incident sparked an outcry. Per CBS News, only the Women's Tennis Association has a rule dictating where their players can and cannot take off their shirts. Men aren't subject to the same regulations. Apparently, female nipples are such a threat to the general public that they need to be governed by a professional body.
UPDATE: Aug. 29, 2018, 3:31 p.m. PDT According to a statement from the WTA, the organization has "no rule" against of a change of attire on the court and said "Alize did nothing wrong."
The organization also said the violation came under "Grand Slam" rules, and notes the United States Tennis Association has since changed its policies.

Earlier in the week, the French Tennis Federation ruled that Serena Williams couldn't wear a black catsuit at the French Open. The catsuit was designed so that Williams, who has struggled with circulation problems since becoming pregnant, wouldn't suffer any blood clots.
Sigh. Whether it's on the court or off, people still love to regulate the female body in 2018. Meanwhile I saw, like, twenty exposed scrotum sacs while on a New York City beach last week, and nobody had a damn thing to say about it.
Let's get to a place where all bodies can co-exist in peace.
