WORLD CUP WIN TO SPAWN `SPORT STRIPPING' TREND?

N. PALM BEACH, Fla. (Wireless Flash) -- Although America's World Cup victory is supposed to make women's soccer the next big thing, some sports insiders think it will also start a fad of on- field stripping a la Brandi Chastain. Mike May of the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, predicts Chastain's celebratory striptease will soon be copied by other female athletes. Although many TV viewers were initially shocked when Chastain tore off her jersey after kicking the winning goal, the overall response to her striptease has been positive because she was tastefully clad in a sports bra. May says some of his colleagues have already expressed hopes that other female athletes such as Steffi Graf will start doffing their tops after a win as well. However, he hopes the sports stripping fad doesn't encourage male athletes to start whipping off their pants and flashing their jock straps.
