They're games dammit!

I did here somewhere that USA Volleyball, the governing body for the sport here in the states, is officially using the term "sets" instead of "games" now.

 

Are they nominating Kaz Matsui for sainthood now?

 

hadn't hered that.

but guess that means we're to switch it up now, too, eh?

 

What about pulverized?

 

solid.

 

Yes, USA volleyball uses the terms sets (as does does the international game). NCAA still uses games.

I suppose though the ranter is also upset when writers call those football parts "quarters" instead of "periods" as periods is also the "official" term.

 

When I was a volleyball writer newbie, I was told that using "sets" showed my ignorance. I'm free to show my ignorance in other ways now, it appears.

 

I'd rather be bludgeoned than cover volleyball. There are worse sports to cover. Doesn't mean volleyball doesn't suck.

 

It's their SPORT. Fuck me.

That's what I meant.

 

What about "get-together" or "friendly?"

 

Be careful ... soccerfan is gonna jump on your ass.
