Women’s Beach Volleyball: Sports Porn?

Discussion Board Post

Does anyone else think this is the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue of the Olympics? Did anyone else notice how contrived all the ass slapping and full-body hugging was?

And uh ... how 'bout those replays? Did they show ANY points being scored, or did they only replay shots of the physical contact between the players?

C'mon.

Beach volleyball has a noble and lengthy history dating back to 584 B.C. on the Isle of Lesbos. The girls played nude, using a wiffleball of sorts made from palm leaves. They played only at night, guided by the phosphorescent properties of the palm leaves. No spectators were allowed, only the unblinking moon, the Eye of All Things Les.

It was a better world back then -- there were no tampon commercials on the television to make us squirm while watching the Olympics with our mothers.
