Paige Spiranac says the reaction a pair of shirtless baseball players got for a viral video over the weekend showed off a sexist double standard ... and she wasn't one bit pleased to see it.
The golf star -- who's gained fame for both her swing and her looks -- unloaded on the situation in a fiery tweet on Saturday morning.
She reposted footage of the Savannah Bananas players dancing on the diamond without their tops on ... and said female commenters who praised the men in the clip but bash her when she wears revealing clothing are nothing more than hypocrites.
"Interesting how different the reaction is online when men choose to show off their bodies," the 30-year-old said.
"Not one comment on this video calling them attention whores or sluts. Just a ton of women saying baseball is now their favorite sport but those same women harshly judge me."
"The hypocrisy," she added. "lol."
In her meteoric rise to becoming the most-followed golfer on Instagram -- Spiranac has had to deal with trolls in her comments regularly. They often go after her for the low-cut tops she wears -- and the photos that she posts in them.
But, she's made it a point to call them out frequently -- usually taking to Twitter to defend herself.
As for the Savannah Bananas and their stunt ... Spiranac made it clear she had no issue with the way the dudes have been featuring their bods during their Harlem Globetrotter-like games -- saying, "I think their content is fun and they bring new people into the game!"

Don't those massive implants get in the way of her swing?

Those baseball players had massive bananas and they know how to swing.

The Savannah Bananas are actually great. They're the sexy baseball version of the Harlem Globetrotters -- and they often play the equally sexy Party Animals (who almost always lose, per the script). Most of the guys have great bodies (not always faces though) and they don't hesitate to swing their sexiness around the bases.
This is baseball as it should be.

Damn! How can I watch them in action ? This sounds great, R4. Do they travel around the country like the Harlem Globetrotters ?

It's nearly impossible to get tickets to their shows unless you plan way in advance (like the minute they go on sale). Every show is sold out and they have waiting lists. I've tried a couple of times to go to their games in Rancho Cucamonga (which is as close to LA as they get) and I never managed to get tickets. But next season I will be very prepared.
