Have you wondered how many people are watching the Olympics

[roderick]

Breaking, not break dancing.

No, break dancing.

 

[odanny]

Are you shitting me?

Break dancing is in the Olympics?

I hope you're joking.

 

[luiza]

I refuse to watch after the opening ceremony bs. Yawn.

It has that effect on inadequates .
Too much brilliance in too short a time drives the unfulfilled even madder .

It is called Breaking and it seems to be very popular all around the world.

Right after I posted I turned on the tube and it was the "sport" that was on NBC this morning.

Is it less a sport than some of the other "judged" sports out there?

Thank gaia, it ends tomorrow.

That's the thing, so many of these "sports" come down to someone else determining who the winner is, unlike the 100 meter dash.

I get where you are coming from and do like the sports like track and field better.

But at the same time not many people auguring that gymnastics is not a real sport

NBC Brags About How Much The Olympics Are Wrecking American Workplace Productivity

Katie Ledecky, Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Snoop Dogg, basketball, boxing, tennis, rowing, fencing, water polo, soccer, beach volleyball! The 2024 Paris

Through five days of competition and one day of ceremonies, the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games have accrued over 8 billion streaming minutes – more than the number of streaming minutes for for 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 Beijing Olympics combined. And there are still 13 more days to go.

Seems a lot of people love the Olympics as much as I do.

I copy to DVD and watch later. Sadly, some of what interests me is only online or pay TV.

Breaking, not break dancing.

Can you explain how this (breaking) is different than break dancing?

Can you explain how this (breaking) is different than break dancing?

Nope, I sure cannot

 

[Couchpotato]

Nope, I sure cannot

So then it is break dancing?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

So then it is break dancing?

If that makes you happy, then call it that.

That is not the name of the sport, but you are free to call it whatever you like.

 

[ESay]

Breaking, as well as skateboarding before, was included into the Olympics to raise the youngsters' interest in the games. Maybe this decision has some logic.

That is not the name of the sport, but you are free to call it whatever you like.

I’m just calling it what it is. You made an issue out of calling it breaking not break dancing. And it’s not a sport.

Currently I'm at ZERO minutes of watching the Olympics... It's definitely destroying my work place...

You are calling it what you know it as, same as those in the US saying soccer vice football.

The people of the world disagree with you, they think it is a sport.

Plus, it fits the definition.

Don't worry, I have watched enough for both of us
