  1. I don’t understand how these caps would give them an advantage.. like why would it matter if they have a cap to fit their hair?? It’s just cruel to not give them a product that will allow more diversity in the sport.

  2. TAKE CARE ALL N GOD BLESS YOU ALL HUMAN’S NATION!!!!!!!!
    SPECIAL THANKS LOT YOUTUBE TEAM 😎😎😎😎😎

  3. What? The Olympics Games have strict rules?? You don’t say…. everything has to be blamed on racism today..

    1. Hearing about a problem for the first time doesn’t mean it was never a problem before, wtf 😂

    2. @Dawn Hazelett uh yeah? And…? How is it confusing for you that it may have been a problem before and it was just not common knowledge?

    3. @luxxy because I’m quite sure if it was such a major problem it would have been addressed…but no let’s chalk it all up to that damn white supremacy racism…as it benefits the current narrative.

  4. I’m not a hydrodynamics expert, but how exactly do Soul Cap’s products give a competitive edge?
