Yes Faith, the more I think about it the more convinced I become it’s an absolute joke. Any beach game is something you do for fun, it shouldn’t be at the Olympics.

While I am not generally a sports fan, I used to enjoy watching the Olympics. But now, with women’s beach volleyball on every night it seems, I give up. Surely the IOC was composed of a bunch of dirty old men when they accepted Beach Volleyball into the fold. Sure, there is the men’s version, but that is a thin coverup for what’s really going on here. As always, marketing sports with sex. I’m not such a huge feminist, but gimme a break, it is so transparent. And the big name professional basketball players in the Olympics? I don’t get that either. I’ll stick to movie reruns or read a good book instead.

And they’ve pushed out softball for the next Olympics! I wonder what will take its place.

Beach volleyball is the only thing I’ve seen. Both men and women.

I don’t seek it out — it’s what’s been on when I’ve been out someplace.

It is an odd one though.
