That is not cotton stretchy pants or "sweatpants". Nor is it the "leggins" my 10 year old wears: http://athleta.gap.com/webcontent/00...cn12578506.jpg

Perhaps the young/teen pass-holders were wearing torn/ripped lycra that was very revealing, but it is hard for me to get worked up over "leggins" which is all that any of us know. And for United to make its stand for propriety at "leggings" was really stupid. @:-)
After I posted that, I realized that it didn't specifically address sweatpants, but I do recall the UA policy used to say something along the lines of
-sweatpants or spandex-style pants

I was mainly trying to highlight the fact that I don't think the dresscode policy has an intentional bias or double standard as some have suggested.
