Sports that should be part of the Olympics

[Guest Nanks]

Take out equestrian?? Get bent, it's one of the most highly skilled sports in the Games. Thinking through the list of sports it's one of the only ones that not just anyone on the street could compete in. I can swim laps, I can run, I can jump, I can throw shit, I can hit people, etc, what I, nor the majority of people can do is make horses change speed in a controlled manner, change their leading leg mid-stride, walk backwards or jump over odd looking obstacles when they could just as easily walk around them without landing in water.

If they have field hockey they should have roller hockey.

 

PS. I play roller hockey.

 

PSS. I would never make it on the team.

Paintball.

 

Hilarity will ensue.

[Guest Nanks]

An Olympic competition where countries send representatives to shoot at each other!!! Genius!!

Simon Says

[Guest Nanks]

Too expensive. You couldn't provide each nation with even cars.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Cockfighting.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

Squash. It is in the Commonwealth Games, and it should be here too.

Squash. It is in the Commonwealth Games, and it should be here too.

Oh, good call.

 

Something else they should have is a tour-style cycling stage race, that lasts the whole olympics.

The hell outta here with that DodgeBall garbage

 

Oh, um, hey what about Kickball guys...What is this kiddie sports?

[Australian Pride 0]

Darts - no fitness required so even a fat bastard has a chance at winning in it.

TenPin Bowling - it's been in the Commonwealth Games, why not the Olympics?

Olympic Kickball would fucking rule.

 

*guy's shoe flies off*

"Oh what a tragic story. He's waited four years to get to this game, overcome numerous leg operations, and it all ends with the illegal shoe flying off maneuver "

 

I'd tune in.

They just said on the radio that a survey was done on which sport should be in the olympics, and the winner was the 'Tug-of-War' with 18% of the vote. Apparently it was an event at the olympics until 1920.

[Highland 0]

Have you seen those hackeysack players from Thailand? They play it with teams on opposing sides of a volleyball net and it's fucking nuts.

[Guest croweater]

I think that Rock climbing would be a realistic and worthy addition to the Olympics.

 

That shit be hard.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I'd watch olympic arm-wrestling.

Naked twister.

Haha. Turn on MSNBC now. When did speedwalking become an actual olympic event?

[Guest Kid Kablam]

Squash. It is in the Commonwealth Games, and it should be here too.

That and racquetball.

1932 for the 50k walk, and 1956 for the 20k walk.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

That shit's far.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Yep. The 50k walk is longer than the marathon, at 31 miles and change. The 20k walk is a much more manageable 12 miles.

I hope everyone got to see it. It was the funniest thing ever. If power walking is in the olympics, we should be able to get dodgeball easily.

[Guest TJH]

IN:

 

Squash

Rugby

 

OUT:

 

Women's superheavyweight weightlifting (don't ask)

Men's beach volleyball

Walking a battle of attrition usually half to field get's Dq'd for bendning their knees or something. Poker definatly needs to be a demo in 2008.
