There is a controversy brewing at the London Olympics and it doesn't involve judges, steroids, or tanking matches (we're looking at you Badminton) - it involves bikinis.
Critics are claiming that not only are the women's beach volleyball uniforms too sexy, but that photographers seem to be focusing an inordinate number of their images on certain parts of the female anatomy.
Are the Olympics women's beach volleyball photos too sexy? That is the claim being made by some people who find that too many pictures of these female Olympians are filled with crotch shots and close-ups of women's derrieres in tight bikini bottoms, according to the Huffington Post just yesterday.
... Although female beach volleyball teams are no longer required to wear bikinis while competing in the Olympics, most of them chose to continue the tradition of skimpy two-piece swimsuits for the 2012 Olympics.
It should come as no surprise that the women's beach volleyball photos of competitors in bikinis come across as far sexier than photos of Olympians who chose to compete while fully clothed. While wearing a bikini, everything from hand signals to a congratulatory hug looks sexy. No one is blaming the women for being too sexy. The question is whether the photographers are gratuitously focusing on certain body parts or poses when they snap their photos.
So what do you think? Too sexy, too photographed, or not enough of either?
The middle and far right womens’ dresses are too blue. They should have far less color. It screams gawk at me.
I agree with you on a couple points. There is nothing wrong with remaining a virgin until marriage.(in fact it makes Lolo Jones more desirable) The sexualization of children is completely wrong. I am also against gay marriage. I just think over sheltering a child can backfire. I know a couple girls who were raised very religious and sheltered lives. Once they went to college, they turned into total sluts.
I have nothing against you living life the way you see fit. These athletes know damn well what they are doing.
What a choke job the US did against the Russians......down 2-0 with a Match Point, Russia comes all the way back to win.
Men or women? (no tv for me)
Men.
You need to post pictures for verification. For posterity...
Thank you...! (I’ll be in my bunk... [/Jayne Firefly])
Are our hyphenated last name females still in it?
1. The women are playing sports.
2. The female (or male) body is not a dirty thing that needs to be hidden.
3. Get your minds out of the gutter.
4. A better reason to not watch the Olympics is the rampant political content.
When the girls themselves have to keep pulling the edges of those “pants” down, then something should be changed.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
Too sexy?! Well, to quote the Brit Col. Pickering, “I’m dashed!”
Pretty standard at a track meet for a hurdler, regardless of the uniform. Shes’s at the starting line and relaxing the muscles in her hips, shoulders, arms and legs. It is not meant to be sexy, it PREVENTS INJURIES!
Vell, I teenk the prawblem stems from the sub-conscious longing of the human male to return to a place similar to vhere he spent the most comfortable 9 months of hiss lyfe.
Since it’s impossible for a grown individual to do dhat, dhey have lowered their expectations and vill do everyteeng dey can, just to get PART of their body back into a nice varm place like dhat occasionally. Dat’s vhat I teenk!

So it's a "Win-Win".
Affirm, from what i recall. A women’s naked beauty is for her husband to appreciate, who has entered into a lifelong covenant with her, and is not for public consumption.
God Himself does not show His greater degree of glory except to those who enter into covenant with Him. (Ex. 33, Rv. 22:4)
The men’s water polo baby bonnets are too ridiculous and totally ruin what could be some nice he-man eye candy for Freeper gals.
Really now??? Have you seen the women's gymnastic, swim and field and track competitions?
Those protesters against the women's attire seem to have overlooked the name of the sport - BEACH VOLLEYBALL. Which means there is a net, a ball, sand and beach attire.
For those of you in Rio Linda:
Women's Beach Volleyball = Bikinis
Marriage = 1 man & 1 woman
Dufus = Reflection in mirror
