5. You Betcha
I didn't really set out to start a man-flesh eye-candy OP, but it was the only thing I could do to not look like a prude :)

4. I was noticing that last night. my guess is, the men (in BV) get to wear

T&A. It's what really matters.

8. what's comfortable and right for the sport is a sports bra for women
I think in the other thread there was a post that questioned the bikini bottom. I think that the bikini bottom is just for looking sexy, but a lot of people find swim shorts more attractive than bikini bottoms on a guy.

9. Well it's self-exploitation then.
I'm pretty sure the teams get to choose/help design their uni's.

11. I certainly hope so. And I hope their PRIMARY consideration
is function. They are California girls, so one does wonder. And I say this as a current California girl.

10. I wouldn't mind seeing the female volleyball players in loose tank tops
That could be fun in its own way.
