Bar sport.No way. Curling gym unit at a high school with a lot of Jamaicans is the greatest trash talking event ever.
Jesus, I thought they got rid of that.I always thought the walking event was pretty fucking stupid.
He means in the Olympics, and even if you properly interpreted that, he'd still be trolling you.Apparently for many people it is a sport ...even in America.

For free. They'd have to be fighting for free in exhibition fights that don't impact their records and making weight multiple times in a short period of time (probably over the course of 2 weeks) in order to make it an Olympic sport. Or multiple grand pries stacked on top of one another...It would be cool to see "MMA" make an entrance, but it would be impossible due to the inability for entrants to fight multiple contests in a tourney style.
It still blows me away that Pride used to hold those Gran Prix tourneys, 3 fights in a night. Fucking brutal.
I never understand why people want things removed from the Olympics. If you don't like that sport, switch to one of the 17 other channels showing other sports. Removing the biggest opportunity for competition from minor sports just seems like petty dicks being petty.
If you have to pick something, I guess start with the sports that are only big in 1 or 2 countries.
Honestly, if they have to cut down on them, they should (but never will so I didn't start here) go with the sports that treat the Olympics like a joke. Soccer, Golf, Basketball, Hockey, Tennis, Rugby, etc. These sports don't need to be in the Olympics. They have their own worldwide competition all the damn time and the Olympic comp is usually second rate. Only reason they would never be considered is the Olympic committee thinks they need them to make money (which they probably do). But I'd rather get rid of any of them than a sport that would barely exist without the Olympics.

I would assume that the Olympic version would be some pussified, watered down version like Olympic Boxing. So they probably could do multiple matches.It would be cool to see "MMA" make an entrance, but it would be impossible due to the inability for entrants to fight multiple contests in a tourney style.

Because some of us are offended by the notion that someone out there is wearing a gold medal around his neck for making a horse walk funny.I would assume that the Olympic version would be some pussified, watered down version like Olympic Boxing. So they probably could do multiple matches.
Achieve something similar and see if it still offends you.Because some of us are offended by the notion that someone out there is wearing a gold medal around his neck for making a horse walk funny.
This argument whimpers; winning arguments roar.
I achieved a respectable amateur athletic career. I see you're doubling down on whimpering arguments with pure ad hominem.Achieve something and see if it still offends you.
Your argument is that you're offended that other people get credit for mastering their craft and I'm the one with a whimpering argument?I achieved a respectable amateur athletic career. I see you're doubling down on whimpering arguments with pure ad hominem.
Yes. You're the one who is whimpering, "Stop attacking less successful sports!" under the pretense that simply because they are less commercially successful or popular they enjoy some elevated status with regard to the Games.Your argument is that you're offended that other people get credit for mastering their craft and I'm the one with a whimpering argument?
Did you subject yourself to the same ad hominem forming the foundation of your argument? If you haven't achieved something "similar", then what weight is there to you being offended that some of us would seek to subtract less meaningful and legitimate sports? The logic bears that only gold medalists enjoy validity to their opinion on the matter, but of course, this is prejudiced to include those whose sports are being attacked, and whom would predictably be offended by attempts to remove them.BTW, realized I left the word similar out of that response. Lol. Dressage is incredibly difficult and takes years to master at that level. That was the point. I know you played ball at a fairly high level.
