Stupidest Olympic Sports

[GLASNOST]

lets bring back the lions and the christians in the coliseum

What about "nailing" as an Olympic Sport, alternative "tying" ...someone to the cross.

Dressage.

Who the fuck cares which horse can dance better?

As a horse owner I love it.

 

[Weatherman2020]

An Olympic decathlon is just a showcase of post-apocalypse skills that none of us are nearly as good at.

lets bring back the lions and the christians in the coliseum

I'm always reminded of a man who hated Christians so much he put them to death, had them tortured. Paul left us half the letters of the New Testament.

And what does the horse have to say about it?

Very negative horse. Always saying neigh

Nordic combined.

They're just making up sports to put in the Olympics now.

Also, dressage. That's a sport?

Soccer shouldn't be in but it's too much of a money-spinner.

Only an idiot would denigrate soccer.

These guys have to hustle for an hour and a half with hardly any stops, unlike other team sports in which there are player shifts, stoppages and playing only sixty minutes or fifteen actual playing time as in football.

About 30 years ago there used to a competition on TV featuring professional athletes competing against each other in events not related to their own sports, involving strength, stamina, resilience, speed and other qualities that define an athlete.

Soccer players ALWAYS won, outlasting football players, hockey players, wrestlers, basket ball players, etc.

Perhaps. But then there is rugger!

Dude, I've been to two World Cups, saw a World Cup final, and was at the Euros this summer. I love the sport. But it shouldn't be in the Olympics. They're mostly kids. And there already is enough international soccer. There is virtually no off-season.

The dumbest Olympic sport winter or summer is curling.

Oh, you are SO NEGGED!



Curling is teh ossum!

 

[Toro]

Being Canadian I have to agree with the fact Curling is the dumbest sport I have ever seen!

Traitor!

Soccer has always been one of the most popular sports at the Olympic Games. mainly because it represents the Olympic motto "higher, faster, bla bla bla " better than any other sport.

The "kids" at the Olympics are Gymnast girls, who don't now and never will have any signs of any noticeably protrusions to indicate that they are adult females.

The soccer players you describe as "kids" earn more in playing one game than you will in your life time. And could win against you in a one mile race if they gave you a 1759 yard head start.

 

[FJO]

Basketball, Golf, Tennis, Soccer and any professional sport where the athletes are more interested in next weeks tournament than the Olympic medal

Basketball is for genetic freaks. Golf should force golfers to carry their own bags. Tennis should learn how to keep score logically.... like you know, 1, 2, 3 not like 15, 30, 97, 142 bor something idiotic like that.

YOU ARE DEAD WRONG ABOUT SOCCER.

AS FAR AS STUPID "Olympic Sports" nothing can take the honor as honestly and truly as anything "synchronized".

And, especially sports that can not be measured by a tape, a scale and a stop watch.

For those who care about the environment, do you have any idea how much it costs to build the course and move the hundreds of gallons of water in the white water canoeing. They should have those races on natural rivers unless they are afraid of Deliverance.

And sports that - logically - SHOULD be in the Olympics are skipping, hopping and running backwards on the track, after all, there are four different ways of swimming, so why not four different ways of forward motion on the track? In about 6 different distances, just to load up on the medals, as in swimming. And make sure that the athletes compete in those events are just like the swimmers who trashed their surroundings.

Nope.

Nope.

Your one word response proves that you are an idiot.

Or a coward, who has no valid argument to prove that "Nope" is a NO.

Tell the world who you are (or even pretend to be) and prove that your salary, whatever you do, exceeds that of an international world class soccer player.

Wow.

You really are a fucking clueless asshole.

 

[frigidweirdo]

That flag-waving thing and synchronized anything.

Pretty much anything designed solely for women I'm afraid.

Anything else?

Relays in running. Almost every relay race is about infringements. Just read about the British team being disqualified because one guy's foot was apparently in the wrong place for something or other. The US team got disqualified for handing over the baton slightly too late. It's just a weird sport that revolves around a piece of metal, when it should about running.
