What is the definition of "appropriate attire"?

Rush weighed in [play on words intended there, since, you know, Rush was overweight for most of his life and continues to be today] on Inez Sainz, a former Miss Spain, whom Rush describes as "a looker" being harrassed by "Frat boy" humor in the Jets locker room.

Inez said she was appropriately attired.

Rush said:
Darn it, where is the zoomer? Ah, here it is. All right, we got a picture of Ines Sainz. I'm not sure the Spanish pronunciation. Ines Sainz. This is the woman that's caused all the problems at Jets practice on Saturday. I'm going to zoom in here, for those of you watching on the Dittocam, you'll see her. This is how she was attired. There we go. There we go. Now, it's a good thing we got a high definition camera here. So there she is, and she claims that she was appropriately attired. I'll leave it up to you to decide. This is from the Chicago newspaper blog and this blog is reporting, ladies and gentlemen, that it was not just Dennis Thurman that was overthrowing passes to the defensive backs, but also the head coach, Rex Ryan.

I'm watching the first episode of the Hard Knocks training camp of the New York Jets on HBO and one of the first things that happened in the summertime, the Jets signed Rex Ryan, the head coach, to contract extension with a raise. So he gets on the phone and he calls his wife, "Hey honey, hey honey, I just signed a new deal, you can go shopping now." I'm thinking, man, is that a little sexist, his wife is sitting at home doing nothing and waits for the signal to go shopping. But then I said, no, no, no, no.

Now of course to a Muslim, appropriate attire is a hajib, or if they're really strict, the whole burkha thing, with a face veil so only the eyes can be seen, and a dress that covers arms to the elbow and feet to the ankle.

Maybe if Sainz had gone into the locker room dressed like that, she'd have gotten a little respect.

As for Rex Ryan's comment during the Hard Knocks episode, jeez, yes, that was sexist. And I hope in retaliation his wife went out and bought enough stuff to cost him his entire raise. Serve the fatso right.
