So the women can choose to go topless? Sounds good to me.
No; but, I would like something a little closer to what the guys are wearing for "beach" volleyball. Honestly, who really thinks "beach" volleyball is a sport? Wasn't regular volleyball sufficient.
I loved an interview I saw with one of these gals where she was defending the costume she wears by saying she didn't think it was at all inappropriate. Half her butt is hanging out the back, this is not appropriate, and it is not a sport when what you are mainly talking about is the way the women LOOK in their "uniforms".
You’re just jealous you don’t look like that.

I told my husband that I had a real problem calling these women ‘serious athletes’ when they’re constantly picking their shorts out of their butts.
When they’re wearing less than the women’s swim team, they’re just being ridiculous. (I do give swimmers and divers a lot of leeway on this. Every tiny thing can mess up drag.)
Yes, they’re using sex appeal for ratings. And yes, it does distract from the actual sport.
(As I type this, we’ve got the men’s volleyball game on TV. They’re wearing shorts and sleeveless shirts and they’re playing just fine. So there’s no justification for women to wear nothing more than a sports bra and underwear.)
Now, if someone wants to make the point that sex sells and that near-naked women attract viewers... that’s fine.
But then I want some eye-candy for myself.
Bring on the oil and the bright-red banana hammocks!
