Beach volleyball is a sport the same way beach drinking is.
Women athletes are nothing if not hypocritical.
On Monday they are demanding equal pay for soccer teams/matches because they claim they’ve earned it.
On Tuesday they are praising Title IX for its inherently unequal outcome-based model. If the men’s football and basketball programs announced they would be keeping and spending what they earned from their ticket sales and TV rights a la the women’s soccer national side, the Title IX crowd would go insane with rage over ‘civil rights’ (read: $$$$$ of others).
This is simply about ratings.
Nobody cares about women’s rowing, basketball, soccer, or any other simulated serious title IX sports.
Beach volleyball is about sex sells and nobody cares about the score.
Way to go institutions of higher learning.
