On watching women's sports
I watched the match last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, besides being a very significant match it was great volleyball. The thought occurred to me that it was different than men's volleyball and some ways better. The comparatively less velocity on the ball made for longer made for longer rallies, (they can pound it too - just comparatively). I also enjoyed watching them communicate and exhibit more team behaviors than you might see in a men's match. Which led me to conclude that if you only focus on pure athleticism it will always be better to watch men's sports (although there are remarkable athletes too), but if you appreciate different aspects you can find them equally enjoyable.

The other point is how special Jennifer Hamson is, to be the MVP in two sports where one goes to the sweet sixteen and the other to the national championship (both historic accomplishments) is really extraordinary.
