Do you like your sports hotties rocking the little tennis skirt and tank top and brandishing a racket? Or skintight spandex with a number plastered across the chest? Maybe you're just a sports purist who prefers to see a smoking hot athlete in her natural environment.
Or do you like your sports hotties rocking a teeny bikini on the beach for a magazine photo shoot or, better yet, a body paint bikini for an even better magazine photo shoot. Maybe you're just not into women's sports and prefer just to get down to business.
