Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow used to dress like a stud.
To wit. As the kids say, he was iced-out, sporting slick sunglasses, a custom Joe Burrow chain, and a big fluffy jacket that made him look like a 1970s coke kingpin from Jackson Heights, New York. But now, he’s looking more and more like an artsy Gen Z girl who works at a coffee shop in Silver Lake and takes CBD gummies before bed.

Pink shoes? Baggy white cargo pants? Little white vest? The frosted, ice-blonde buzz cut? Unfortunately, instead of a disco kingpin, he’s almost embracing the style of U.S. women’s soccer player Megan Rapinoe. He’s almost starting to dress like a lesbian.

Whatever happened to the days when wealthy male athletes dressed with a modicum of taste? All athletes used to wear suits, nothing over the top, nothing outlandish — just clean, classy, James Bond suits with a matching tie and pocket square. It’s not only Burrow, NBA players such as James Harden are turning the pre-game tunnel walk into a clownish fashion show.
We need to return to the days when athletes set better standards. Enough of the lesbian fits. We don’t need more Gen Z men dressing like they’re a trust fund co-ed who has daddy issues.
