No kidding. I know those girls throw hard but there should be a lot more solid contact and hits given the ball and the field. I watched more then a few games...and half the time you're just waiting for errors when the ball is finally put in play.

Hugs and high fives after every play, along with the chatter make it just seem even more amatuerish...just my opinion. But I think for these reasons, and the dominance for the US, the fact that teams can finish below .500 and make the medal round, and the other reasons the IOC has, probably best that its reevaluted as an Olympic sport.
