    Why do the women wear shorts and tanks in indoor volleyball and then for beach volleyball they wear tiny bikinis?

    I enjoy both uniforms. :blush:

    Glad I'm not the only one that wondered about that. :lol:

    I think the guys should wear tiny board shorts for beach volleyball then...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I watch the men's swimming, I like laughing at the 'unintentional censorship' shots...

    I know I enjoy it! :lol: (but seriously, at least that makes sense. Bikinis for women in beach volleyball and shirts and shirts for men doesn't... the titillating Bikinis aren't even working anymore. So many empty seats at those matches too!).

    Hope Solo is the absolute worst. I almost cheer against the USWNT because of her.

    I really care nothing about swimming in general, but I really enjoy watching Phelps smote fools.

    Yeah, I just saw her quotes. She's a all-time great goalie, but very unlikable. Shocked by the lack of attention all of her off the field bullshit gets.

    Twice arrested for domestic violence. If she was an NFL player, she'd be out of the league. Nice double standard being set.

    Yeah, that makes sense in her hometown and where she plays. Like dyer said above....if an NFL player had her track record and was still playing, the outrage would be off the charts.

    My Danish guys are going well in the badminton :smile: Well to be honest they're not actually playing well but they have won both their games, which is the main thing! Carsten Mogensen collapsed with a brain aneurysm during the European Team Championships in February and has made an amazing recovery from brain surgery to play in Rio. Hoping they can pull out a great performance and nick a medal
