Anyone notice that the tennis shorts athletes are wearing a getting a tad shorter???

Some of the men are wearing shorter shorts. Remember back in the day the NBA shorts were crotch high??? Now they’re long, wonder if they’ll be going back to a shorter length???

It’s the trend. It will always go back to longer style eventually when the cool trendsetters say so. Lol.
