The Olympics need a diet
Well here we are, well into this huge event they call the Olympics. Already I have been brainstorming ideas so we can cut the next Olympics down to a 5-day event only.
Here is what I have come up with so far.
I don’t get it, why is beach volleyball an Olympic sport? It is of little interest to me even after their piddly attempt to garner interest by forcing the women to wear those skimpy bikini’s. Get rid of it.
Synchronised swimming. I think nearly everyone agrees with me here. WHY is this an Olympic sport for goodness sake?? Obviously the people that run Synchronised swimming have photos of most of the International Olympic Committee having relations with animals, it is the only way I can account for this sport. Interestingly Sync Swimming will be the only sport at the 2012 Olympics to be gender exclusive. Sexism from those Sync Swimming bitches is just plain WRONG ban it!!
I don’t really see why Soccer or Tennis are Olympic sports. Just seems silly to me. They have bigger events outside of the Olympics so I think they should stick to those.
Sailing. Well if you are going to involve something like sailing you may as well let car racing and other motors sports in as well. Ditch the sailing.
The opening and closing ceremonies. Yes I said it. I stand proud when I say I have never EVER watched one of these, I have tried but always find myself asleep. Get rid of both snooze-a-thons!!
We also have a few sports having a second bite at the Olympic cherry
Like….
Diving – Ok sport but nothing special. Now they have decided that they should have two people diving at once instead of just one. Whhooo double the events. Ditch the plurals fools.
And…
Canoeing – Used to involve one person in a canoe. Instead of one dude in a canoe they have added another dude. Snap out of it Canoers we’ve noticed you little trick, were not a bunch of snoozers. Out!
Then onto….
Equestrian – Used to be a niff and a horse. Now you have double the niffs with double the horses. Why not just ride off into the sunset you bunch of overweight jockeys!
Done. The Olympics are now down to 5 days. Unless you guys have any additions to this I will be forwarding my suggestions to the IOC. Let me know if you do.
Are the Olympics on?
Typical closed minded opinion. All the sports your country don’t feature in you want the get rid of. I don’t want to say the R word but your comments are bordering on it.
Some Valid points there SJ. I guess not all sports are for all people. The Olympics however is not about the sports alone, it’s about bringing people together from all around the globe in a positive situation. I embrace it even it means that I’ve had to stay home & man the family business while the rest of the family are over there!!!
Beach Volleyball – remove the mens comp only. Opening/Closing ceremonies, synch swimming & sailing GOOONNEE! Definately NO motorsports.
I pose 2 questions; Is Michael Phelps the Greatest sportsman of all time? Is Jessica Schipper the least attractive of all time?
Schipper wouldn’t have looked out of place in The Munsters.
I think our old mate Cadel may have swallowed a bug while riding in the time trial yesterday….it looked like he was choking again
Can’t the hores look after themselves Iamasimpleman?
Agree with Megam. Keep the womens beach volleyball please.
And we have another choker…..Eamon Sullivan appears to have swallowed half the water in the pool and is reported to be choking.
Gold Velcro. Rambo, I loved your joke when I eventually got it. Nice hammering of the great crouching one.
I’m with Megaman, get rid of em all except the women’s beach v’ball. You can also add golf (much as I love the game), gymnastics, shooting and weight lifting to the list if you like.
Rob B, you are going to have to enlighten me. How in the world could SJ’s post possibly be considered racist? Even IASM didn’t try to play that card and we all know he’ll go with it with no evidence at all.
I had decided this morning that I was going to try to be a little more forgiving of you losers, but I cannot keep it up.
Krusty, you must be living under a rock to not have known that the Olympics are on. Don’t you own a TV? Di your wife gamble it away?
Boring, you are a hypocritical two-faced bum. You wouldn’t know racism if it walked up & bit you on the @#$!
Megabevan, you are just an insensitive disgrace!
Velcrap, you are no better than Megabevan!
Jethro, prepare to dance!! How dare you insult my family!!
Fat One, not worth a comment!
Sarcasim, It is another term you may not have heard of IASM (being so young). Only someone who is deaf and blind would not know that the olympics is on.
