I know a guy who could put Micheal Phelps medal count record in jeopardy. It's ******* break dancing with a different name, not a sport!

The Olympics have always been about finding out is the best ATHLETE at a given SPORT. The other THINGS, need to find something else and quit screwing with the Olympics. Yep, shooting air pistols requires way more athletic ability than those lame ** dancers will ever have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminate that one as well! I have no affinity for that either. Next, they are going to want to include bowling. I saw a local news station do a segment about pickleball in the Olympics!

Would Pickleball be a weirder inclusion than Table-Tennis (since 1988) or Badminton (since 1992?)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I have to say that Breaking wins points for me in the Olympics in how it has a much less inscrutable scoring system than like Gymnastics or Diving. It's just 1 v 1 and the judges pick "who did better" and you get a point for each judge that votes for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickleball is just like 1/3rd speed tennis. It is fun, I won't argue against that, but so is Hide and Seek, and that shouldn't be an Olympic event 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear MrBeast. He did that one already I think. A mall to hide in. Edit: True, that’s not the elite of the elite.

Will you need to go to Olympics Anonymous when the games end? I feel withdrawals may be in your future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still getting the shivers from lack of Curling in my life after the last Winter Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
