NBC is showing Womens' Beach Volleyball...non-stop

174. Below is a paragraph that might clarify.

It was written in 2012 by Sarah J Jackson regarding the Olympics of that year.

"In fact, one of the most talked about issues leading up to the Olympics this year was whether or not the women’s beach volleyball competitors would be able to wear bikinis, given the cool British weather. To be clear, it is not the bikinis themselves that are the problem — in fact, women beach volleyball players have reported feeling great pride in their bodies and the beach culture they come from, and they should. Rather, the problem lies in the fact that these incredible athletes who have worked hard and accomplished more than many people ever will in their lives continue to be valued primarily for the way their bodies look in said bikinis. The result is that media coverage of the event became nearly all about the bikinis instead of the women who play it. For example, NBC’s New York affiliate ran the headline “Olympic Beach Volleyball: Great Bodies, Bikinis and More.” Well gosh, what could the “and more” possibly be? World-class athletes at the top of their game representing their nation under tremendous pressure and doing it with focus and clarity maybe? Apparently none of that is headline-worthy."

That is the only point I was trying to make.
