Argument

The sport of volleyball is a difficult, demanding, competitive sport that requires incredible speed, quick thinking and the drive to win. It is by no means a ‘sissy’ sport, but by the way the girls who play it dress, it is seen that way. There is absolutely no advantage to wearing skin tight and extremely undersized spandex shorts to play volleyball. I can, however, think of many hindrances of this impractical attire. Jumping, diving, or even walking causes them to ride up and that is both uncomfortable and in many cases unattractive. It can be a distraction while playing the game to worry about whether or not your shorts are covering your bottom, and picking at them during play can result in your missing a ball you should have gotten up. I believe that the skill in this game is often overshadowed by the exhibitionism that has unfortunately become a very large part of the sport. Its is a fact that any girl wearing a pair of long, loose, nylon shorts can hit, pass, set or serve a ball just as well as anyone wearing nearly nonexistent spandex shorts, and they can do so without the wedgie.
