Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*You've not trained with women who are serious about it. I know women who would put 99.9% of men to shame in terms of both performance and effort.(Original post by McHumpy92)
I can't take female sports seriously after training with females(srs)
As for the volleyball team, I don't find any of them particularly attractive, but beyond that I'm struggling to come to any sort of judgement about how good they are at volleyball because I know nothing about volleyball. -

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*I have been winding up someone I know who is going to watch the beach volleyball by pointing out they are going to be wearing tracksuit bottoms.

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*I think it's sad that beach volleyball is an olympic sport, when it's pretty obvious that the reason for it being so is its "sexy" image, when other sports are kept out of the olympics.

Re: What do you think of Great Britain's womens beach volleyball team? *WITH PICS*The sexy image is proper gay too. I've heard people I know saying "lol yeah I'm gonna get tickets for the beach volleyball.... FOR THE WIMMIN, AMIRITE??" as if it's funny rather than sad, desperate and dumb?(Original post by RawJoh1)

Anyway what I really wanted to say is, in some countries it's taken much more seriously as a sport so I think your opinion is a bit skewed tbh. -

You're probably right about other countries. I probably would've have much of a problem with it if it weren't for the sexualisation element. Sexualisation probably applies to all women's sports now I think about it, look at the photos of Jessica Ennis that have appeared in The Sun etc - very sad that pro athletes who are great at what they do are judged by whether men'd stick their d.icks in them. The sexualisation is just so much more overt in beach volleyball I think.
