I've seen this movie before...

So, remember when that groups of clubs got together and wanted to talk to USA Volleyball about some concerns they had? And USA Volleyball said "Thanks but no thanks?" And then JVA was created and every college coach's life went down the toilet? Remember that?

It might happen again, but this time in beach volleyball.

According to an AP story, some of the beach big-wigs sent a proposal to USAV to ask for the implementation of a Beach Oversight Committee, and Doug Beal, not having read the proposal yet, said, "From my perspective, beach is significantly represented on our board."

So, that happened. But, I wouldn't worry about it. I mean, USAV has never taken a wrong turn before, so...

The article then continued:

"Indoor volleyball was invented in 1895..."

Oh, cripes, really? This is the way we're going?

"... by a western Massachusetts YMCA instructor..."

Does anyone care? What happened to talking about beach volleyball v. USAV?

"The beach game developed as a diversion for beachgoing families in California in the 1920s..."

UGH. Maybe I should see what's on TV.

"...before its popularity spiked when a nudist camp outside Paris adopted the game."

Wait...what? What was that about a nudist camp outside Paris?

"Ever since, the two disciplines have been on separate trajectories."

No, no no no. You can't just drop "nudist camp outside Paris" on us and then just leave it at that. What was this camp called? What French "philosopher" camp up with this idea? Did they smoke clove cigarettes while playing? Were they allowed to wear berets!? I NEED ANSWERS.
