_______ should be included in the Olympics

Fuck that Tae Kwon Do bullshit.

and softball.

:mad::nuke::mad::nuke::mad:

Japan or Korea would win, and then we'd have to nuke 'em.




Seriously — I don't wanna go through all that "dream team" shit again.

The Olympics are supposed to be for the best AMATEUR athletes in the world. Non-professionals...but to eliminate the sport entirely is just WRONG.

It's not played in enough of the world to make it a good Olympic sport.

but that's an Olympic sport.

:shrug:

I'm all for eliminating about half of Olympic sports on the grounds that about three people on the planet play 'em and/or they're just stoopid.

A lot of 'em are. But baseball isn't. And there are a LOT of people/countries that play. Take the pros out of it, they shouldn't be in there in the first place. Field a team that consists of college players.

curling is the best thing about the winter olympics.

Or are they eliminating it from the next Olympics.

Swimmer boys and girls have the best bods in the whole wide world. Why hinder their speed by bulky speedos?

Let them go as god intended and see how great their times are.

Whoa! :7

:D

I could become a gold medallist! :bounce:

I was always the neighborhood champion. Sadly, my kids seem to have inherited the talent and can beat me.

*sigh*

:cry:

it's quite sporting.

plus it would give the ratings a boost.

We have the official practice forum right here in the good ol DU. I think some of our "athletes" stand a good chance of gettin the gold.

with your knowledge of obscure British TV shows.

:7

That also happens to be a quote from another obscure British TV show... Mind you, most American shows can't seem to get past "I love you, you love me, please go lick on big Barney"...

The uniforms alone would justify.

:scared:

of the athletes"

What do you have against acoustic guitars and shots of farm fences during sunrise?

(BTW, this ALWAYS seems to be the opening shot, doesn't it??? Even if the competititor's from, say, Brooklyn!)

That gold medal would look sweet next to my newspaper-boy-of-the-month trophy from 1969.

IF you won it. There's only one and it would be mine.

:D

for men and women? :shrug:

There are instances, darlin', where the sexes should, shall we say, mingle.

:evilgrin:

And there's a word for it...and dammit, I can't think of it right now. Fuckass.

:rofl:









:hide:

If they can have ice skating and gymnastics, why not cheer?

and the Olympic Committee looks for sports that have a worldwide popularity.

????

"'Bruce Jenner Wins the Javelin Catch' will not be seen tonight..."

:rofl:

just because Hawai'i hasn't won a medal since Duke Kahanamoku in '32. :-)

True, the surf breaks near Beijing tend to suck, :P but specific events are often held away from the main Games; the equestrian events in '56 were held in Stockholm, not Melbourne, because of Australia's animal quarantine laws.

Windows, Mac and then freestyle.

(mis-posted earlier)

No doubt. True athletes.

Detroit metal would dominate the sport! America's number one! America's number one! America's number one! America's number one!

...I think Brandi Chastain showed, to some extent, that there would certainly be a market for it.

End of Line.

What nation would take the Gold in this event?

You guys have seen http://www.olympic.org/uk/sports/recognized/index_uk.asp, right?

The list of Recognized Sports by the IOC--contains surfing, bridge, chess, motorcycle racing and "airsports" which is hot-air ballooning, aerobatics, gliding and everything you can do with an airplane except turning it into a cattle car or shooting people with it.

The ONLY problems with putting poker in the Olympics are two: most Olympic sports don't require $10,000 buy-ins from the athletes, and it would totally hose gymnastics' ratings.

But seriously, guys, poker would be a great sport for the Olympics. Every country in the world that doesn't have religious extremists running it plays poker. You would have three events: Texas Hold-Em, five-card draw and seven-card stud. People would like it.
