Sports that should be part of the Olympics

[Masked Man of Mystery 0]

I'm amazaed this hasn't been done yet(at least, it wasn't on the first two pages of the forum), but what sports do you feel should be part of the Olmp[ics. I feel that there shoudl be a Mixed Martial Arts competition. It's the closest thing there is to the ancient combat event, and you could do it in the boxing ring ala PRIDE. I really don't think it would matter if it were summer or winter, but I think boxing is only summer, so it would make sense to have it then. What do you think, and what else should be part of the Olympics?

Football........I want to see if America dominates.......although I don't think any other countries play football like we do. Can you imagine the chinese football team?

Poker would be admittedly cool.

 

Asians would dominate that shit.

I demand that they include some form of MMA.

 

If you can get an Olympic medal for WALKING, you should be able to get one for being able to beat the piss out of everyone you see.

 

Though, wasn't there some discussion about MMA being included a little while ago? I had heard they hit a snag on certain rules, like the fact that you can strike a downed opponent - I heard the Olympic Committee did NOT like that one.

 

Can anyone confirm/deny this?

I was watching boxing the other day.

 

No body shots. WTF?

 

All the lanky guys win because they can just duck and weave.

 

I was appalled.

No body shots.

 

So...it's only legal to punch the other guy in the head?

 

Isn't that MORE dangerous?

And in 20 years the other countries catch up and we get killed by Cuba.

 

I'd like to see Rugby since it is the closest thing to football.

Have a team and invidual competion. 6 members from each country. 3 Pros, 3 amateurs.

[Art Sandusky 0]

I could see Kickboxing made an event.

[Vern Gagne 0]

I thought Rugby already was an event.

Yes, I think AFL (Australian Football League) should be made an Olympic event. I do not care that no other country in the world plays it, my country is the only country that I think about and thus I think it should be included.

 

I agree with rugby and golf deserving to be brought back. And maybe cricket too.

Dodgeball and surfing.

 

Also fucking take out Sailing and Equestrian

[spiny norman 0]

What's people's problem with equestrian? I was just watching it then, I think it's a beautiful sport.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

There's already too many damn sports.

 

Although if forced to pick another one, I'd go with Dodgeball -- that way, hippie administrators might bring it back to their schools...

[razazteca 0]

Ju-Jitsu or Sambo or Muay Thai

Wifebeating

Kegtapping

Box Socializing

 

That would sure get the 18-49 male demographic.

It's not illegal to go to the body.

 

It's just that you only get points for hitting your opponent in the head.

I did an essay in my OAC Creative Writing class about that, basically comparing it to Figure skating with judges and what not. I got a pretty good mark, but the teacher told me never to hand anything about wrestling again.
