JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 http://news.yahoo.com/eyes-london-no-bikinis-queens-hat-131117752--oly.html The women's beach volleyball uniforms have gone politically correct this year, with shorts and sleeved tops replacing the bikinis. The move was made to respect the cultural beliefs of players from different countries and updates the dress code that has been in effect since the sport became a medal event in 1996. The American women said they'll wear more clothing in London if it's cold during their night matches, but bikinis would've been their first choice because that's what they're used to wearing. Still, they unanimously applauded the relaxed dress code. "We want women of all different religions to be able to play our sport," said Jennifer Kessy, "and to not be able to play because of the gear is not OK."

Very nicely written. You realize that there is only one specific religion/culture that England is trying to appease.......right ? .
Cugalabanza Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 They pay a lot of lip service to this idea of inclusion, but it’s a joke. As a satanist, I’m offended by the lack of bare breasts and the failure to televise the self-righteous being tortured and burned alive.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Very nicely written. You realize that there is only one specific religion/culture that England is trying to appease.......right ? . The Church of England, right... ;-) :-P Jack, please tell him what he has won.
muffmonster Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Blame Bush. Unfortunately now there is no chance bush will show.
Mark Vader Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Why not just give teams the option of what they want to wear?
Optometric Insight Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Why not just give teams the option of what they want to wear? Because it will "offend other religions."

Mark Vader Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Because it will "offend other religions." Hmmmph, it's not like their being forced to play. You don't like the wardrobe? Fine, don't play!
biglukes Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Well the best thing about the summer Olympics is ruined. My favorite summer Olympic memory was 04 I think when the bikini clad Kerry Walsh and Misty May win the gold and proceeded to jump into each others arms and roll around on the ground together.

Best Player Available Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 As an avid spectator, wearing such restricting clothing is not good for the game. Just another pathetic attempt to end the USA Women's dominance. Now that the Clemens trial wrapped up.I recommend writing your Senator and complaining . perhaps they act before summer recess.Besides, the Brits should be more concerned about getting their teeth fixed.
biglukes Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Kate Middleton should make an impassioned plea to reinstate bikinis and then volunteer herself to play for the British team. Edited July 28, 2012 by biglukes
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Beach volleyball is basically doubles tennis in the sand without the rackets... I gues they are getting all stuffy like @ Wimbleton! :wallbash: Edited July 28, 2012 by ExiledInIllinois
Jim in Anchorage Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Anyone here complaining about womans volley ball uniforms- you do realize you can go to any San Francisco library and see completly naked woman for free? 24/7 all year? With a privacy screen?

With a privacy screen? SF=Bad! Bet one doesn't have to travel that far to find a library with the same services. Heck, you can go to a library down the street... And if you want 24/7... Just park in the lot and jump on the WiFi connection.

Come on is this 1957 and you went downtown wearing a trench coat to buy sleeze flims? I don't care if the womans VB team wears Carhart coveralls.
