Will everything eventually be an Olympic event?

[rampart]

That's been an Olympic sport since 1904, descended from a popular English pastime.

In that sport, you're supposed to always have one foot touching the ground. Then the cameras with the slo-mo showed that 100% of the "walkers" weren't following that rule, that all of them had both feet off the ground at some point. So rather than enforce the rule strictly, they wink at a little bit of cheating. It's a judgement call by the officials about how much "both feet are off the ground" cheating is allowed.

an event in cheating? trump gets the gold!

When are we going to get Olympic birdwatching or Olympic fishing?

Not sure about bird-watching but we'll be seeing them fishing quite soon I guess.

How about singles and team sobriety check tests? The BAC of each athlete must be at least .10.

but i am not wrong. the southerners were selectively breeding - and they do not ask their horses or hounds for consent either. did you see the kentucky derby this year?

You are correct. There are extensive records kept by slave breeders. The livestock produced was prized and very expensive. The black inheritors of those bloodlines owe their fortunes to those breeders.

I have watched some wimmen volleyball, but if they had an event for usmb board members to have a debate I would probably watch that.

owe something to their breeders? yea, i suppose so. the price in "humanity" seems to have been a bit high, our old southerners seem to have been better at it than the other experiment in selectively breeding humans, the european aristocracy.

my ancestor, a french aristocrat, barely got on the ship before their big cull in 1789.

also true : "consent" was not exactly a word allowed to female slaves, and the inadequate or "spirited" males were often gelded.

Yes. Although I doubt that the quality female slaves complained much.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

those ol' masters bred slaves like they did their horses , didn't they.

the selective breeding of blacks for several generations does seem to have developed superior humans, despite injection of the master's own less than optimal genetics.

Although slave owners did make use of the slaves, it would never be to breeding stock.

Stuff nobody wants to see for $1000 Alex.

• The man who killed womens sports for good and all of the Olympics single-handildy.
• Blacks who spit on their country anthems like Kaperinic of today.

Blacks who spit on their country anthems like Kaperinic of today.

Because blacks were treated so well in 1968
You can win for our country, just don’t expect equal treatment when you get home
