There must be some amazing wardrobe malfunctions in this sport!

[terycarl]

some people just don’t know how to mind their own business!!!

Why take these piddling intermediate steps?

Just go right to the Burka.

That’s where it is going to end up anyway.

I love beautiful girls. I married one. I love sports but do not think it is appropriate for girls teams to wear bikinis which show 99% of their buttocks.

They should wear regular sports shirts and shorts. They will still look good in those but will not look like whores.

"Shorts of a maximum length of 1.18 inches above the knee... "

Measuring to 1/100 inch accuracy calls for the use of a Micrometer Screw Gauge. I volunteer to be the Screw Gauge operator at all events. Just to assure proper compliance with regulations, of course.

Mark my words on this: In the not-so-distant future, a few decades or less, some contestants will compete in the nude. Back to the beginning.

The bikini-clad young women are the SOLE reason this ‘’sport’’ exists in the first place!

[I cannot think of a name]

Since there have obviously been some women posting on this thread, and in the interest of complete honesty let me say the following:

yes, when I watch beach volleyball I DO spend an inordinate amount of time staring at the rock hard bodies of the players...

but I will fully admit to the following.

In my younger days, having really long arms and not liking to run great distances, beach volleyball was a favorite activity of mine. And I fancied myself as very good.

Besides being smoking hot looking, most of those women are also smoking hot volleyball players. When the camera cuts to the side angles, it is obvious that ball comes across the net like a cannon shot. Even if I were in my twenties again, no way in hell would I get out there with those women. I'm not a big fan of embarrassment and humiliation.
