LMAO! The other day I had to explain to DH how the men's swimming is SO not the female porn equivalent of the women's gymnastics and beach volleyball... I still don't think he understood... Originally Posted by colby

We're still trying to figure out the spectator appeal of water polo Originally Posted by OakLeaf
I understand that it is quite athletic to do what they do, but it's boring
Last night, I heard one of the commentators say "they have the best defense in the sport of water polo today"...
isn't that like being "the best bluegrass band in Denmark"

We watched the most bizarrely boring sport- Modern Pentathalon. Part were interesting but mostly it was just weird.
I found water polo extremely boring yet the US channels showed it all the time. Someone must like it but I don't know who.
I don't like watching basketball (except my college and March Madness) or baseball (ever), I didn't watch any of that.Amanda

I would have argued with you when I was in High School in the 70s. My friends and I all had the poster. Originally Posted by OakLeaf

Sure it is. Nicely formed young men in mini speedos? What's not to like? Originally Posted by OakLeaf

They don't wear mini speedos for speed swimming -- they wear suits with about the same coverage as cycling bib shorts, although even more form-fitting. Originally Posted by Irulan

The divers seem to be another story... I'd say that might be closer to the gymnastics/beach volleyball equivalent Originally Posted by Irulan

Goggles, swim caps, shark suits. Plus more subQ fat than any other sport. Originally Posted by Irulan

Heh. As far back as high school, I remember finding swimmer bodies very nice to look at. If those boys have lots of subQ fat, I guess I like 'em that way. Originally Posted by OakLeaf
