Volleyball sure has changed. I mean, when I was in high school, we didn’t wear those bikini looking uniforms during our PE volleyball units. Hmm-but then again, we didn’t have our games in sand either-just the gymnasium. Watched some of the gold medal match for women’s beach volleyball. Team USA so far, leads in second game, and has already won the first.
When did the women become so scantily clad to play volleyball? And well, in some of the pictures I’ve seen of the men’s beach volleyball teams---they’re covered. What gives? I admit to not knowing much of the sport. Until a few Olympics ago, I didn’t know one could win a gold medal playing on the sand for it—or any medal for that fact. Nonetheless, volleyball has so changed-just like swimming. Men nowa days, like Michael Phelps, wear those long johns, when back in Mark Spitz’ day, just regular, short swim trucks—now THAT was a uniform!
I can go with some changes on the sports scene. Like those on the men’s track team. Specifically in the 110m hurdles….to the point: David Oliver. Hmm. Now come to think of it—I don’t remember past hurdlers looking like HIM either…

Change is good.
