Why did men's indoor volleyball never catch on?

Real sports fans would rather watch tall blonde female volleyball players.

It’s amazing how much better men are than women at sports. Even something like volleyball.

Men’s volleyball is awesome, especially indoors. Dudes hit the ball so hard...has got to hurt to block those spikes.

The dudes that play volleyball have some serious hops. They look like they float in the air. It’s impressive to watch.

Started this thread about women’s volleyball once. Def the most watchable women’s team sport.

It's relatively bigger overseas. Some of the big clubs have decent support.

8,200+ people packed into St. John Arena at Ohio State to watch the 2017 National Title, but Ohio State was in it and won the 2nd in a row.

It's a really fun game.

Some things that hold it back are lack of historical significance. Games also can vary wildly in length. Especially back with sideout scoring.

And the Men's game is very impressive, but lacks a lot of long rallies (a bunch of missed serves as well).

It'll never be huge, but its actually growing relatively rapidly.

It's fun watching women play volleyball in tights, even moreso in the bikins on the beach during olympics.

But I will not lie, it's also entertaining watching men volleyball during olympics. It is such a different game, the athleticism in the men's game is in a different stratosphere as compared to the women.

I have seen it in the Olympics. It is pretty impressive. A lot of them are 6’7”, can seriously jump, and spike the ball 70+ mph

I used to go to some women’s volleyball games in college.

There were some great athletes but like 50 people max in the crowds with free tickets.

This makes no sense. Even something like volleyball......


Height, hand eye coordination, and jumping capability are the biggest factors in volleyball.
