This Summer: Embrace the Shirt
Special Commentary by Paul Olson of pauldavidolson.com
Yeah, I get it. It’s hot. We’re both sweating. My sweat, however, is hidden behind this fabric. It’s called a shirt. And yes, sometimes my shirt will become damp with sweat, but I can literally see sweat bubbling out of your body. Nobody wants to see that.
Oh, you’re going for a run? Then keep running. If you’re stopping in the store for a bottle of water, put a shirt on. Gonna do some stretches in the park? Shirt up. Just going to stop at the ATM quick? Shirt. Unless you’re swimming or within spitting-distance of water, shirt.
Come on. Professional athletes wear shirts all the time, and they work a hell of a lot harder than you. Never, in the history of football, has any member of any team played skins on game day. At no point, in any Tour de France, has a cyclist shed his entire jersey. Yeah, they’ll all unzip as they climb the Alps, but is your 30 minute run
This summer: embrace the shirt.
