I don't think it's about what it reveals so much as its style, in fact, our revered rugby league players wear clothes just as tight.

It is one of the biggest difficulties that I have in recruiting middle school boys to participate in the great sport of wrestling. I feel that comments like that, and I have heard it many times, are akin to encouraging the negative body consciousness of adolescent girls. The developing human body is what it is and girls and boys should look at their bodies as being designed and built by our God. "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." (Ps. 139: 14) "Before I was born the LORD called me; from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name." (Is. 49:1) There should be nothing shameful about wearing something that might reveal the wonderful works of God. As it is the wrestling singlet reveals less than what either a gymnast or swimmer would wear in competition.
