Sunday, August 10 2008 -- It looks like Women's Beach Volleyball will continue to be a hit at the Olympics. How can it fail when the women wear the skimpiest of bikini bottoms and only a slightly bigger bikini top? As a woman, I demand equal rights for the men! I too want to see eye candy -- that's the only way I'd watch this sport. The men must also wear bikini briefs, and no shirts at all!

But I digress.

Women are playing their last softball tournament at the Olympics for the conceivable future, as it has been dropped from the Olympics after the 2008 games. (As has baseball).
