Some do, some don't, from a female perspective. Sometimes it
depends on the cut of the jeans.
As far as athletes, it's mostly
pitchers who look that bad, and coaches. Baseball players do
look more attractive when they wear the uniforms the
old-fashioned way, as knickers with high socks. I did see one
team recently that seemed to be wearing summerweight
skintights that gave a sausage look to even scrawny players,
but I don't remember which team. Athletes who look worse are
many of the pro U.S. football players. Some of them must
weigh 400 pounds, 100 of that in a gut hanging over their
waistbands.
Joy, now totally off topic, so I'll recommend Eversz's
Shooting Elvis as original, hb, hilarious in places, and
interesting
