I don't get why volleyball is not more popular
>>150997974He doesnt know
>>150997974The introduction of the libero killed all interest for me
White people's sport
>>150998169> introduced internationally in the late 1990sDamn, thought libero was there from the beginning
>>150998189> top countries are Brazil, Italy, Japan, USA> poorer Caribbean countries doing better than wealthier EU countries> calls it a white man's sportwhite people are cold weather sport people. global warming is the only reason Norway is now good at track and field> France is 4th on the Men's side, not 1 blonde haired man, half the team is not white> calls it a white people's sportshameful you don't even follow your own nation
>>150997974because all the points are the same
>>150997974Because it's really really boring
>>150997974Not enough clubs making highlight reels of hot playershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4si_od7mszw
>>150997974literally me but for rhythmic gymnastics
>>150997974just very boring to watch if you aren’t a coomer
Might be one of the most fun team sports to actually play, and its fun to watch the hot women play during the Olympics but watching it regularly would be boring.
>>150998551Because only the ones who couldn't make it at real gymnastics practice that "sport"
>>150997974Basing an entire sport around keeping a ball off the ground is literally the most retarded idea
>>150998478It can be quite entertaining sometimes, but I feel it lacks the unpredictability of soccer and a few other sports.
>>150997974its dangerous as fuck. rolled ankles, dislocated shoulders. you name it
>>150998478boring to watch but its fun to play
>>151006296Broken and dislocated fingers is more of an issue desu.
>>151005832>real gymnastics is a 3 foot ingress swinging from a tree
>>151006311That could be said about 99% of all sports
>>150998319What race are the people on the itlaina and USA team ?
>>150998319Why did you leave out Poland ?
for me? kick volleyball. its like soccer doing bicycle kicks and roundhousing the ballhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T2VwSyTGtI
>>150997974For me it's the height barrier
>>150998551Yes
>>150998319>global warming is the only reason Norway is now good at track and fieldindoor track exists retard
>>151005878You just described the nfl
>>151008697But without global warming it's too cold even inside
>>150997974It’s like water polo, super fucking fun to play but meh as a spectator sport.
>>151006296>>151006444
>>150998551i bet the music is shit and would ruin that webm
>>150997974no matter how hot the players are, it's still women's sport at the end of the day
>>151008965they literally call it a touchdown.
>>151009813I can save her
>>151013040it's a great piece actually https://x.com/khnh80044/status/1949302502064869766
>>150997974It is popular but good luck trying to convince anyone to broadcast that over the other well established and way more popular sports.[spoiler]And the male category is kind of boring since there's barely any rallies.[/spoiler]
>>150997974literally me but for competitive cuddling
>>151016130competitive kissing as well :)
>>150997974Objectively boring to watch, basically basketball but somehow with even less strat/technical variety and no contact, especially with men where offense is insanely overpowered so basically almost every attack lands. I play both and they're a blast, they're just difficult to make as spectacular and dramatic as football can be.
>>151016077TV is just lazy to invest in volleyball
>>151006517https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud4bhrpaIp8&pp=ygUYc2ltb25lIGJpbGVzIHVuZXZlbiBiYXJzyeah this is such a piece of cake. anyone could do it
>>150997974I think it's a repetition thing. Not everyone likes seeing 100+ plays where half of it are very similar and short. IMO it's a similar problem that Tennis, Pingpong, and even Handball faces.>>150998169Can you explain why, anon? Genuinely curious.I always thought the Libero was one of the best inventions in Volleyball and I think other sports, like Basketball, should introduce similar mechanics
>>150997974It's a good sport but it's not a spectator sport. Too static with too many players.
>>151006783didn't fit his retarded narrative
>>151024125
>>151022639ive seen similar stuff in the zoo all the time lol
