Ya know, something for future archeologists to unearth and marvel at.
If it has competition between two or more teams or individuals,and the winner is determined by that head to head competition, then it is a sport. Examples: Water polo, volleyball, tennis, softball, baseball, basketball, auto racing, football, lacrosse, hockey, soccer (OK it's boring), rugby, Aussie football, polo, golf (fun to play, boring to watch),billiards, handball, squash, jai-alai, field hockey (again, boring), motocross, speed skating, etc. If it has competition between two or more teams or individuals, and the outcome is determined by a judge's score, then it is not a sport, it is a pastime. Examples: gymnastics, figure skating, diving, ice dancing, ballroom dancing, synchronized swimming or diving, horse jumping (where the horse jumps obstacles), bodybuilding, etc.
You forgot your .lol.and </s> tags, or you have never played anything that has made you sweat in your life.
Does it require a very high level of athletic ability to perform at the top levels?
If so, it's a sport. If not, it's a skill.
It looks like it might be kinda fun to play too.
Let us know when you have played against a 2 man team ON THE BEACH. It's hard enough to even WALK on sand for any length of time. 2 person VB is hard.
When you have beat the girls shown here, come pack and post about it.
Notice I didn't say after you had beat the GUYS.

I don't think so....
But a sport - yes it is FAR more of a "sport" than many Olympic events.
In the gray area of sport I put any activity that requires artistic judging. This would include things like synchonized swimming, rhythmic gymnastics, and the like. Atheletic? yes; sport? no.
This may be fun to react to, but it is most definitely NOT an argument.
You've got to be kidding! 2 on 2 volleyball, on sand is terribly difficult, and the physical exertion is tremendous. Playing 4 on 4 beach volleyball for fun is one heck of a workout!

You should have posted that this was a SPOILER thread. The match hasn't run on the West coast yet. Thanks a lot.
It is a sport that includes running, jumping, sweating, hitting a ball, teamwork and the scoring is not subjective.
Just an obscure sport until this olympics. Let's see if NBC picks up the beach volley ball tour for next season.
Maybe the Fox News babes could start doing their spots in beach volleyball outfits. Viewership might go higher.
Okay folks, the US Olympic Team can surely afford more fabric than THAT. Seriously, is this necessary?
Or just her pole dancing volley ball name?
bump - for research purposes ONLY!
OK, where are the Brazillian pics?
I need a moment or two...
Is too! Girl watching is a very demanding and time consuming sport requiring intense concentration, a comfy chair and copious amounts of adult beverages!
I should know. I am a professional girl watcher who is well versed in judging which girls are worth watching!
Try it sometime..It takes stamina and skill to cover the field with two players. No offense, but you obviously don't know what you are talking about.
Actually it is a sport and I dont consider tall, flat-chested women as eye-candy.
