[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Olympic coverage is horrid this year, but as a former volleyball player, I love watching. I too hate the skimpy bikinis...[/quote] +1 I love beach volleyball and particularly liked this years USA women's A team because they were super tough and skilled. However, I avoid watching the women's beach volleyball because the bikini uniforms and the tone of the broadcasts are unapologetically sexist, and its not the image/message I want for my daughter.[/quote] Yes. They should wear more clothes to be less comfortable and not to offend your delicate sensibilities. Good Lord. How about celebrating women achieving something amazing? Maybe your daughter get that message instead of whatever hypersensitive you are imposing on her.[/quote] I think the issue is that it’s hard not to think that they show so much women’s beach volleyball because of the outfits. It would be interesting to see what NBC would do should they cover up more. I’d bet anything that they’d show half as much.[/quote] To the PP's point that this is one of the events that is live during East Coast prime time which is why there was so much coverage - wondering what other, if any, live options there were.[/quote] It gers the most coverage every year. Just a coincidence this time.[/quote]
