Too Much Volleyball, Not Enough Olympics
NBC ^ | FReeplancer

Posted on 08/18/2008 9:08:16 PM PDT by freeplancer

I tried to watch the Olympics but am I the only one that is sick of Beach Volleyball? This makes four nights now that they have shown the same women's duo and I know more about them than all other athletes (except Phelps). I give up and I guess politics is not the only thing NBC can ruin.

I’m sick of it too. It’s not that interesting to begin with, IMO, and they’ve harped on it too much. Put in in the afternoon hours, not in primetime.

I’m sick of Chinese underage atheltes winning medals for mediocre routines that the commentators and Bela Karolyi said were not the greatest too, but that’s another story....

Healthy American women in little swimsuits crushing healthy women from other countries in little swimsuits = ratings gold.

I’ve seen no visable proof on this thread of beach vollyball being at the Olympics and until there is the discussion will go nowhere

A lot of threads are useless so why can’t mine be one too?

Certainly, there must be other sports that a worthy to be featured. The May/Walsh duo matches should not be a daily feature. At most the final two games of the Games would be more reasonable. I have a sneaky feeling that beach volleyball would be barely covered if the participants wore sweatsuits instead of bikinis.

They are very good players, but not all that attractive.

I’m sick of those here who are sick of beach volleyball. My daughter has met Todd and Phil, and for all their fame and money they are nice guys. They are both graduates of the same high school as my son attends. Misty and Kerri play a great game too. If you don’t like it, watch something else.

Look, I like amazonian women in skimpy threads just like the next guy, but once in a while I want to see some death and destruction (boxing, basketball) while I am having my cigarette

Take it easy sparky, I was not attacking you personally and your love of VV, not that there is anything wrong with that.

You will be hard pressed to find a nicer “bottom” on any other competitor at the Olympics. She gets the GOLD!
