No one can possibly care about Beach Volleyball

[shutupyourface]

as an Olympic sport.

it's just not possible anyone could find it THAT entertaining that it should be garnering as much airplay as it does during prime-time Olympic showcases.

god it's so boring. Indoor Volleyball is 10x more interesting to watch.

plus there are about 20 other Olympic events that are more riveting than Beach Volleyball.

i actually find it better then the indoor with like 6 people on each team. with that many people theres too much chaos going on.



besides....

[squidmonk3j]

i think you should send a copy of this brilliant essay to the IOC.

[Nerahla]

to NBC more like, I don't think it should get as much airplay, either. *snooze* I like equestrian events :P They aren't even broadcasting those at all.

i dunno man, have you actually watched the belgian ladies in action? brrrr

[DeadlyFreeze]

If I had to pick a sport it would be the Air BB gun events... I mean come on wtf. :xpld:

[shutupyourface]

indoor handball is THE sport we are not getting to see here in the states. so frustrating. look at this ridiculously awesome youtube clip:

also... the indoor chicks totally have tiny shorts on so that's a moot point.

NBC is only showing the events Americans are expected to win.

I miss the days when TV showed all the countries. No matter what event.

BTW, both beach and indoor volleyball rule.
Too bad the most you arm-chair athletes know about the sport is at yourfat-ass, family, pick nick-jungle ball at your family reunion.

Now I know why NASCAR is popular. Just stare at cars racing in a circle. (*drool*...daaaa..aaaaaar...)

game, set, match.

[Portus]

It's the best sport in existance, fact.


If I was going to pick one sport that shouldn't be in is BMX dirt bike racing, isn't that more of an X-Sports anyway?

[Dirty C]

Yeah but dude have you watched that? It was on last night and it was sweet to watch. LOADS of wipeouts.

[Justice Von Brandt]

Where are all the men volleyball player pictures in this thread? :(

[Interceptor]

Probably in the girls only forum.. with gross little photoshop edits.
Don't play dumb with me, I know what goes on in there ;).

I watched some MORE of handball this morning. It's being telecast, just catch it on either MSNBC, CNBC or USA Network.

And since BMX was voted in, they had to remove both baseball and softball from the Olympics. And I LOVE watching women's softball. Dammit.

But then, the Olympics are the only time for me to catch sports I normally don't get to see, like badminton, table tennis, archery, shooting, field hockey etc. Yeah, yeah I know, the tough and gritty sport of badminton - but after catching a few matches, it's pretty cool how they get them birdies to zip back-n-forth like that.

Oh, and from what I understand, badminton is the fifth most popular sport in the world. Crazy.

[Flake]

btw, has anyone seen the medals table of late? a new World Record for piss testing will be going on in the British camp as we speak..:D

I care about beach volleyball! Diving and wrestling too. As you can see, Misty May is quite the dessert dish in her new hairstyle and as a woman I'm sure drooling over 'Jaws' and that wrestling shot of OctoMan'. Day-um what a shmexy pose!

:asslick:

[Toxdel]

lol I rather enjoy woman's beach volley ball myself :P

Um, what? But I've seen both those sports - do you mean the next olympics or something?

*edit: But it must be said, when one nation dominates so massively in a sport, it shows it's not really international, innit.

[Molly]

Maridius - your post made me crack up! :)

DC - your posts have made even ME slightly aroused :P

Sand, semi nude chicks, balls what more could you ask for in a sport?

Besides, its better than 'trampoline' or synchronized swimming etc.

Well Japan just beat the US for the gold in softball. Anyways, yup, the last Olympics appearance for both. Now, for softball, that sport may be in the Olympics for 2016; but they're saying so far, it won't happen.

Not sure whattup with baseball - but for that sport, it's always been a battle with Cuba for the gold. So the US hasn't dominated at all there either.

Another thing to keep in mind is the usual competitive season for both of these sports: training begins in spring, season begins in summer to early fall. So I gather it'd be difficult for the US to put together a team properly for each Olympics.

I’ve been enjoying the rowing. What’s to dislike about men showing they have stamina? That they are honed, hot and sweaty doesn’t come into it.

racewalking.... enough said

Every sport's fine really.

Somebody goes to an all-boys school...

Are you serious? You can't be serious. Ok, you're serious.

...but why?

Have you been looking at the attached images here, or the moving ones on your television screen?
