Adriana Caballero Sportivo Ameliano dress code

Adriana Caballero shoots sports in Paraguay with a Canon in hand, and Sportivo Ameliano decided her outfit was their business. Shorts, low-cut blouses, a bare midriff: all off-limits under a dress code the club laid on her. Then came the complaint, sent by the club's board to the outlet she shoots for. Criticism followed, and the measure got walked back publicly, with the club insisting the board of directors never signed off on it. Caballero's answer was simple: she dresses for her own comfort. She also asked how a photo she'd already published turned into grounds for demanding she change anything. Reading the statement shocked her, she admitted, though part of her figured it was bound to land eventually. Her bigger worry is the knock-on effect for other photographers working beside her. So which is it here, respect for the rules or sexism creeping into sports journalism?
