Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | I tried to watch highlights on the second day and I got to the skateboarding events and turned it off in disgust. The Olympics are just money making hackery now. Skateboarding? Really? Why not hot air ballooning and croquet. The Olympics now are like that alternative casino that Chevy Chase goes to in Vegas Vacation. Where guess how many fingers I have behind my back is a legitimate game. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | The only Summer Olympics game I watch is women's volleyball, for obvious reasons. That is honest to God the only event I watch. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The Norwegian women’s handball team was fined recently, for refusing to play in bikini bottoms in the Euro tournament. Men are allowed to play in shorts four inches above the knees, but women are required to wear bikini bottoms. |

Who wants to see men in bikini bottoms? The President is a fink. |

Things like this grow into legit sports. Freestyle skiing was called "hot dog skiing" when it was put in back IIRC in 1992. It is now a popular thing to watch. Skateboarding is snowboarding on concrete which also was not heard of even in the 1980s. The President is a fink. |

I hadn’t thought of badminton in years. I think my dad preferred we played that as kids, as it involved one flying object that we wouldn’t damage anything with. Although the way I’ve seen athletes play, it could probably crack a window. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
