Pop singer Pink was seeing red when the Norwegian womens beach handball team got fined for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms at the European championships last week.

So, on Sunday she offered to pay the penalty of 1500 euros ($1,770).

Im very proud of the Norwegian female beach handball team for protesting sexist rules about their uniform, the Get the Party Started star tweeted. Ill be happy to pay your fines for you. Keep it up.
