Next Olympic Sport???
- Thread starter FL Knifemaker
- Start date
WAAAAAAY too much time on their hands. I still hope to see street and vert skateboarding become a summer Olympic sport someday. I mean, Snowboarders got in for goodness sake!FL Knifemaker said:
What P's me off is that the **** station that covers the games (won't mention names) will count the medals in the medal count but GOD forbid if they should EVER DARE to show any of the shooting sports on TV that wins many of them for the US

Oh, sorry, rant over 
Not even considering the cold water, that must be strange playing underwater, upside down, with a floating puck???? I don't think it will ever become a great spectator sport. Kind of like freestyle skydiving!!

I vote that rockin sockin robots be the next olympic sport. It levels the playing field for all athletes, and its less violent than boxing.
Oh, I know! I wish I could see the shooting sports as well. I mean, the same station will show Movie after Movie with gun toting gangstas shooting up Korean markets, gripe in the news about violent crimes being on the rise and then, not show target shooting. Personally, I won't be happy until I can get about 10 stations covering all the Olympic sports and letting me choose what I want to watch. With the Winter Olympics coming up soon I sit here and know I won't see any of the cool hockey games unless the US is in the game or it's the medal rounds. That chaps my ***.
Slightly off topic... I recently watched a show on the Food Network, it mentioned that there's an association (can't remember the correct name) that's trying to have eating contests declared an Olympic sport. They talked about how world champion hotdog eaters have to train 'just like athletes' - this mainly entails drinking massive amounts of water to (ew) stretch their stomachs out before contests. *shudder*

If they think they can make eating a "sport" then they should make drinking beer a sport. What goes together better than alchohol and sports.
Forget sports just pass me a drink. :soda: "T"

I watched those guys up in Orlando last year. I was there for a paintball tournament and just happened to catch it. Believe me, I didn't make a special trip. I will say this, it was amazing to watch. Not that I'd ever want to see it again, it was just amazing to watch. Figure that in the course of the day, (2 semi's and one final round) the winner ate enough hotdogs, buns and water to fill up a standard size cooler, no exaggeration here, ya'all
I don't know what they do to their stomachs before the contest but they sure have alot of room in them. None of the top 3 were over, at the most 160lbs either!!
