When Brandi Chastain ripped off her shirt after scoring the winning goal in the Women’s World Cup back in 1999, it was a big deal. I was watching it live, and there was absolutely a split-second of “OMFG, what is she doing? Is she so fired up that Brandi’s going to show us her bewbs?” Seriously, it was gripping television. No one knew what those girls wear under those shirts. I wouldn’t have guessed a black sports bra in a million years.

Fast-forward to 2009 and even the Dalai Lama knows of Brandi Chastain and her uber-famous black sports bra. And so does the U.S. bankruptcy court. The bra is being held as part of the Sports Museum of America Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. They need money and are ransoming back the items that were lent to them. Classy, huh? They want $250 for the bra, $1500 for Tony Hawk’s first skateboard, and a bunch of other assorted crap. It’s a travishamockerly of the highest order.
