Volleyball Thread!

Yup, pretty much the only sport worth watching at the olympics


Unless mike phelps starts doing bong rips before races

Does TFA headline confuse anyone else? Seems to imply that beach volleyball is not athletic.

I can think of at least 2 right off the top of my head...

"When we were purchasing tickets for staff to purchase, we obviously thought they were mostly going to be able to go at the weekend or on Fridays," said Mr. Stevens. "Then when you look at what's available at those sorts of price bands, on those sorts of days, most of it turns out to be volleyball. As ever, on these occasions, the explanation is coincidence rather than conspiracy."

Perfectly innocent explanation noted.

Ummm, what's a bookmark?

SoCalSurfer: Yup, pretty much the only sport worth watching at the olympics

Complete opposite here. I will watch literally any sport you put in front of me as long as it has the Olympic rings slapped on it.

Anything. Synchronized swimming. Sailing. Walking. The only sports I leave on the shelf are in the camp where I can already watch it anytime I want and for where Olympic gold isn't the biggest prize, and not even always then. I can live without Olympic tennis, for example.

I trust the British government. I mean think about it, I have a perfectly innocent explanation for why I'm posting in this thread and it's not because this will save the thread in my recent posts for looking at when I get home.

I also have a perfectly innocent reason for notifying people that my email address is in my profile.

I can think of two reasons... very bouncy reasons.

Um, I'll be in my bunk...

Because Brits have never seen a fine ass on their sorry pasty saggy island, so it's about time they do so.

Trick question: Britons are unfamiliar with this "beach" concept.

So cold outside, but so hot in this thread.

I had a former girlfriend who was incensed that beach volleyball mandates bikinis. She also would not let me watch it on television. hence the Ex in ex girlfriend.

Seconded!! I will watch all the coverage, all day long, and then the highlights that night.

Let's just say they're on a juggernaut.



We'll let the honorable President George W. Bush elaborate.

FWIW, I'm gay, but I still really enjoy watching women's beach volleyball at the Olympics.

I'm sure it's been said, but, Pro Female Volleyball players are the biggest biatches I've ever had the displeasure to meet.

I worked security at a sports center. They had several teams come in preparing for the Olympics. All the V-ball girls acted like their shiat didn't stink. They had the worst attitude, the least patience, and were just twats about everything. What a waste of cut butts.


Also: why are these Chinese guys wearing bras?

"Athletics" = Brit-speak for Track & Field

Okay, found a translator:

Pommy women are bleedin' butters.

Am I doing it right?

Setting sexy female players aside, I went to the Atlanta olympics in 96 and the beach volleyball venue was a lot of fun and they sold margaritas.

In fact, the Atlanta Olympics was *puts on sunglasses* a blast. YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAH

/once you got over the 3rd World-worthy unorganized clusterfark that was the Atlanta olympics
//and the 3rd-world quality heat and humidity.

"Athletics" is the official term for the events we generally call "track" or "field".

at least Volleyball does tend to use a portion of field, requires a physical ability to move which is required for the points for their actions, otherwise cheerleading is given point opon their "style", & yet we have Poker on ESPN which unless it's bull-poker, I consider as nothing but a hobby. Granted Beach Volleyball tends to have a few girls in slightly skimpy outfits




doesn't make it less of a sport, just kinda indignifies to the fact that the girls tend to show so much skin out in the public . . . so, regardless of it being a sport, it is indignified

Hey! That's my move!

British government excuse: so when the Euro goes tits up, so will we.

What I wonder is why the reporter didn't attempt to validate the schedule.

Thanks, y'all. I figured it was some british-ism I was not understanding.

the innocent explanation is that hot chick are nice to look at.

A Fark Handle: the innocent explanation is that hot chicks in swimsuits are nice to look at.

FTFM

The fingers tell your teammate who's serving how you're going to try to block the other team.
1 means you're blocking the straight hit down the line.
2 means you're playing the angled hit.

So two 1's means "I'm taking away both sidelines, you dig in the middle of the court".
Also "This toned ass is quick enough to cover the whole net".

Not shown: wiggle one hand or the other to indicate who to serve the ball at.
