More Uniformity. Or Less.

I've been watching the Olympics this weekend. I was a rabid Olympics fan as a little girl, when Jim McKay and the whole crew from ABC sports brought us "Up Close and Personal." To give you an idea of exactly how long ago this was, Jim Lampley was the young, cute one on the broadcast team.

Along with everything else, the Olympics have changed, and I won't presume to say the changes haven't been for the better, but I will say I don't enjoy them as much now as I did then, for a whole host of reasons.

But that's not why I called...

While I'm not entirely convinced that beach volleyball even deserves to be called a sport, there's one thing I like about it. They play in the rain! We've taken the weather out of virtually all pro sports in the U.S., either with indoor venues, or by simply cancelling the game if the players don't like the weather. This is a shame. Some of the most entertaining games I've seen in my life were played in inclement weather.

But the most interesting thing about beach volleyball is that the women play in tiny little bikinis. The men, however, play in baggy shorts and tank tops. Anyone interested in signing my petition to the IOC that men should have to play in skimpy Speedos, let me know.
