events that should not be in Olympics

[harmonica]

anything that needs judges is not a sport:
figure skating
the diving events
etc
it should just be the fastest, farthest, highest, etc
..and then they added beach volleyball when there already was a volleyball event
morons.....

There has to be a defense for it to be a sport. Someone has to be prevention you from meeting your goal; someone who can adapt as you do. Figure skating, diving, swimming, those things are not sports. Golf is not a sport. Football is a sport. Yet, I don't think The Olympics are about sports as much as physical human capabilities.

So track and field...not a sport?

Where's the "defense" in downhill skiing? Or a triathlon?

Agree with golf though. Anything that requires no physical exertion can't be called a "sport". If anything competitive counted, card playing would be a frickin' sport.

There's no valid way to prevent your opponent from succeeding.
It's a competition.

Isnt that what sport is....

 

[BradVesp]

I mean, obviously, most people don't agree with my definition. I just try to point out that there should be some differentiation between athletic competitions with a defensive strategy and those that are based solely on innate skill.

 

[BradVesp]

Should I be saying athletic game, rather then sport?

The Olympics are mostly about individual physical achievement. It's proof for what a man or woman can do. If you want to see that you can't have someone stopping you.

I was just watching this guy figure skating. So gay

 

[harmonica]

the snowboarding--they just brought that in for the kids!!
it's supposed to be the Olympics--not the kiddie show

 

[longknife]

I dislike any sport that requires a panel of "experts" to determine who is best. The only "judging" should be to decide is someone stayed within the bounds of the competition. Highest, fastest, furthest should be the deciding factors.
