I disagree, and if we're discussing what is and is not a sport, let's please look at any of the shooting sports.

It is a sport, but it was presented in a manner designed to appeal to our national tawdriness...

The Greeks are nefarious.

it most definitely is NOT a sport

It's a tough event. Bad footing and a large area to protect makes this an extreme cardiovascular workout.

It's unfortunate that they had to beat McPeak/Youngs of USA to get to the gold round

You're missing the point. Which team is hotter?

It's not eye candy either..IMO.

Is there some International Beach Volleyball Federation rule that no female bigger than an a-cup can participate?

I, um, prefer to rate the hotness of the guys, but admittedly, both are lovely, perhaps the gold medal winners just a bit more so.

Hey, I'm not even opposed to small breasts (I prefer them over silicone any day) but those girls just aren't attractive...It takes more than a swimsuit that doesn't fit right to make someone attractive. That's my opinion
