MB Open – 2010 (c) AVP/Peter Brouillet |
Next weekend's 50th Manhattan Open was abruptly canceled, then restored, Friday.
But the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) says it has reached the end of the line, canceling the remainder of its season and hinting that it could fold completely without an angel dropping in.
The Manhattan Open "will happen," California Beach Volleyball Association President Chris Brown
told the LA Times. "Unfortunately, the details are a little hazy."
The Times reports that Brown said the open will "return to its roots — no stadium seating, no grandstands," with "no bells or whistles."
An
extensive website post by Hans Stolfus on the official AVP site, titled "End of Days," explains the backstory from the organization's perspective, and frets about the future of professional volleyball in the U.S.
Stolfus speculates that, "The AVP’s best athletes will no longer regularly compete on American soil. Full stop."
