I respect the consistency.I didn't like that when it was pushed over 20 years ago
Ok, so explain how they all have such nice kabooses? I think it’s totally sexist to have them wear the spandexI know a bit about volleyball, so I'll say that the point of the spandex is because of the quick movements and range of motion needed in a lot of plays. A lot of hitting the floor and bouncing right back up to keep playing. The explanation I've gotten is the spandex do a good job of not restricting that motion and are tight enough so that when you do hit the floor to dive, slide or roll, the shorts are staying in place so as to not expose anything. You're not gonna ever see men's volleyball players in those (thank God), but majority do wear sliding shorts underneath their uniform shorts for those same reasons.
Flyovers are coolDo you say the same thing when the NFL/MLB/NASCAR shove military and government propaganda down your throat?
Well, for one, I don't watch them either if you really want to know.Do you say the same thing when the NFL/MLB/NASCAR shove military and government propaganda down your throat?
I think still think it’s weird, and he’s one of the last few men coaching at a high profile program.Doesn't Auriemma make your point look silly?
I'd have to agree that typically getting through an entire game in under two hours with commercials coming only at halftime is a huge plus.Soccer’s the only sport that hasn’t been ruined by commercials. Even NASCAR fell victim to the ads.
90 minutes for soccer plus a 20 minute halftime is much, much better than baseball.
Soccer’s biggest problem is the MLS is garbage. There are a lot of EPL fans but the English style doesn’t jive with the American spirit. Liga MX is what American viewers would actually find interesting. Those guys will be bleeding and the refs won’t call fouls, it is beautiful
Got us in an illegal war that no one cared aboutI respect the consistency.
Illegal war, but I think the people who fought & died cared.Got us in an illegal war that no one cared about
The women playing are generally tall and in good shape. I imagine they do a lot of leg workouts that boost their glutes as well.Ok, so explain how they all have such nice kabooses? I think it’s totally sexist to have them wear the spandex

Yeah, they do have the best a**es of any sport and I’m not an a** guy.I’m getting excited
But it does prove that it's possible, and that above all else merit is what maters most. Unless you don't believe in merit?I think still think it’s weird, and he’s one of the last few men coaching at a high profile program.
It’s possible but I wouldn’t bet on it.But it does prove that it's possible, and that above all else merit is what maters most. Unless you don't believe in merit?
It’s not that good. It’s mostly about Boston being racist.The 3 part Celtics/Lakers 30 for 30 is playing today on ESPN2.
Spandex for movement?Ok, so explain how they all have such nice kabooses? I think it’s totally sexist to have them wear the spandex
A dangerously broad statement because they certainly all do not have nice onesOk, so explain how they all have such nice kabooses? I think it’s totally sexist to have them wear the spandex
I'm giving you the explanation I've seen from women. Don't shoot the messenger. Men wear regular shorts, typically with sliding shorts underneath, although, as with basketball, you'd be hard-pressed to find shorts that are at or below the knees these days.Spandex for movement?
Completely BS. Men VB wear them? Hoops players don't need quick movement?
Total horseshit explanation by SC.
They want people to look at them. No doubt.I'm giving you the explanation I've seen from women. Don't shoot the messenger. Men wear regular shorts, typically with sliding shorts underneath, although, as with basketball, you'd be hard-pressed to find shorts that are at or below the knees these days.
I’m inclusive when it comes to female kaboosesA dangerously broad statement because they certainly all do not have nice ones
This is the same reaction when NFL, NBA and MLB minority coaches are not hired. The NFL even has a Rooney rule where you have to interview minority candidates. Of course they also follow that up by saying if you're not seriously considering a candidate, don't interview them. Can't make this stuff up. The WNBA has former men's players like Bill Laimbeer coaching, why not have Hammon coach the women for awhile? Has she ever even been a head coach of any team?Called it. The woke crowd, who doesn’t even pay attention to sports, is going to throw a hissy fit every time a female coach gets passed over. This is why you never mix politics with sports. The people who care more about politics are far louder than the people who care about sports.

I’ll say it again, why ignore reality? A good portion of players will not take orders from a woman. I’m not saying that’s a proper attitude to have, but it’s better to accept that as a reality instead of looking everywhere else for an answer.This is the same reaction when NFL, NBA and MLB minority coaches are not hired.

No, but a lot of them do. And an athletic a** is so much more attractive than a giant Kardashian a**. I’ll never understand that appeal.A dangerously broad statement because they certainly all do not have nice ones
The shorts are a requirement, so it’s not like they’re wearing them just to be sexy.They want people to look at them. No doubt.
But you better not look at them.......
So a team cannot wear regular shorts for volleyball?The shorts are a requirement, so it’s not like they’re wearing them just to be sexy.
I assume they have to be provided by the school to meet compliance standards. IE you can’t throw a pair of regular gym shorts on and play with your normal top.So a team cannot wear regular shorts for volleyball?
Show me the rule.
Softball have to wear increasingly tight pants?
Sho
Show me a rule that says volleyball players must wear those tights and softball must wear tight tight tight yoga pants type!I assume they have to be provided by the school to meet compliance standards. IE you can’t throw a pair of regular gym shorts on and play with your normal top.
