Why is Beach Volleyball an Olympic Sport?
Call me a sceptic, but I just don’t see how beach volleyball is drastically different than, uh, volleyball. So – we’re going to play volleyball, but.. wait for it.. in SAND! Perhaps this could be expanded on. How about beach soccer, beach wrestling, and beach diving. I’m not ignorant, I “get it” – the Olympics need to stay current with the times, but I still do not by any means agree that beach volleyball qualifies as a sport of the Olympians.
I think there is probably a reason for Beach Volleyball being accepted though. Olympic judges are crusty old men and women, and crusty old men and women like staring at tanned young men and women. Freud was right – the penis and the vagina truly are the apples of humanity’s collective eye. Personally, I think they should still have Tug of War included:
Fun Facts:
- Ice Hockey was a Summer Olympic event in 1920.
- “Powerboat Racing” was an Olympic Sport, seemingly only participated in by Britain and France, and thus the only medals won in the competition were Gold.
