Chastain Gets Her Bra Back

Symbol of '99 World Cup victory rescued from bankruptcy court

Share

(Newser) – The sports bra Brandi Chastain was wearing when she shredded her shirt after making a game-winning penalty kick in the 1999 World Cup has been returned to her, USA Today reports. Like much other memorabilia at New York City’s short-lived Sports Museum of America, it was taken by a US bankruptcy court after the museum went under this spring.

Chastain now has the famous bra back in time for the 10th anniversary of the famous game, which will be celebrated on Sunday when her pro team FC Gold Price plays St. Louis Athletica. "I thought I might need it,” Chastain quipped. “I haven't done laundry in a while.”

i still dont get why that one moment caused such a fuss. she was more covered than your average girl at the beach, or female volleyball players, and no one freaks out about them. Reply

It was a memorable celebration. It had little or nothing to do with her revealing her "titsling." Reply
