I think I heard they are a defensive player who can't go up to the net. This has to be the most boring and longest Olympic sport...

That player is called a Libero. He can only play in the back row and cannot spike. Its a specialised defensive player.

What is the purpose of having a libero?

 

[CycloneSteve]

Its usually a player who is crap at spiking but can dig/set really well. Having a player who doesnt have to play in the front row can be good.

I thought it was just some alternative jersey that they decided to wear because they didnt wanna wear the other one.

The women's is more exciting. They have really really long exciting rallies, whereas the mens just bash the crap out of the ball and make it impossible to return
