What Sports do you think should be in the Olympics??

In stead of Texas Hold'em, they need to add strip poker as an event. I was going to say only with the strictest of physical standards, but why? Sometimes, psychological warfare is your biggest tool.

Dwarf toss.
The little fellers have a union

Remember when you use to able to go to a dwarf tossing contest, and they'd let you smoke?

And how much anger the little fellers expressed when the sport was banned because it was politically incorrect.

Don't look😟😞😢🤣DON'T LOOK! Eyes on your card👏👏🤣

Buzkashi!

We all want to see buzkashi, and I don't care if they use horses or yaks although the yak variant would be interesting to see.

Form your mouth roughly into a circle, and then at the top of your voice make this sound:

"RRRRrrrrrRRRRRrrrrrrRRRRRRRRrrrrrrRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrRRRRRrrrrrr..."

Keep going like that for...infinity.

"Karen" has now been defined.

ROFLMAO!


OK I can go with that as at least one of those definitions in the new Webster's Dictionary for social settings.

How about this one...

Woke Nutshot Karate - Sixth degree blackbelt Karate masters take turns administering blistering front snap kicks to the nutsacks of the winners of the Most Woke Games (held earlier this year in San Francisco). Style points for tonsil injuries.

Even more for popped out eyes from the sockets! And another category for messed in underwear.

My husband did competitive CCG (collectible card gaming) for a while, and they made rules about personal hygiene because some players would purposefully not shower and build up BO as a distraction.

Think of it as the nerd sports equivalent of trash talk.

Oh, and I should have added...

There is no particular "winner" of this event, it's just unimaginably satisfying for spectators to watch!

Historically, matches have gone on for weeks, even months sometimes. And, there are two divisions, 'Pro', and 'Amateur'. In the Pro division you have to be a Karate master. In the "Amateur' division you don't even have to know Karate at all, you just need a sturdy pair of steel-toe / composite-toe work boots. In some regions even Spectators are allowed to compete, depending on the jurisdiction.

My very first official wrestling match ever was as a sophomore in HS . The other guy had not bathed and his arm pit came near my nose and I almost hurled on him.

He won easily.

He was one of many who came stinky. I didn't ever do that because I wanted to go out with the a couple of the cheerleaders. I didn't need smell hanging over me.

Laugh all you want, but it's all about the ins and outs of the rules on the cards, probabilities, and finding the best way to work those loopholes.

Husband actually hit on one combo that killed it for him by making everything on the table unreasonably expensive, exponentially so. He was prepped for it, but the usual route is to go cheap and fast, so it destroyed opponents.

If you're good at math and can think quickly, then you'll do all right at it, but I never wanted to spend the time and effort it took to learn all the ins and outs and tune a deck.

I've tried to think of ways to encourage younger people to participate in sports more and I propose -

Replace the finish line with a giant mirror so the kids can tiktok themselves walking towards it while looking bored and flicking their hair.

Speed food. Contestants use the app of their choosing to order dinner. First one to get their delivery wins.

For teams we could have synchronised couch flopping. The winner is the one who ends up with the TV remote.

For more sedate people, like myself , I'd like to have a go at competitive cobweb accumulation. If there's a tie situation for the final two, you'd have to shake down over some scales and calculate dust content. Heaviest wins gold.

I think standard soccer/football would be greatly improved if they simply tossed a new ball on the field for every 5 minutes of game play that passed without a goal.

But that just wouldn't be cricket!

Oh, cricket ... make that one more interesting by declaring that no one in the stands can pee until the game ends.

Here are some serious considerations, that may, or may not, be on the IOC's table of sports to consider adding to the Olympics :

Competitive poo-flinging ;
Ex-politicians bobbing for road-apples ;
Master Debating, team-event ;
Hair-pull wrastlin' in a tub of warm-oil ;
Beer-pong H-O-R-S-E challenge ;
Underwater yodeling ;
Bankster-tipping ;


Or for some more geographically-aligned proposals :

Hide-and-seek through all of Tokyo ;
Hotfoot-racing across volcano fields and hot-springs, on Mt. Fuji ;
Pokémon-ball juggling ( What : You were expecting epic battles ? LoL !! Nope. Just juggling. ) ;
Samurai close-shave ( Think John Belushiaki. ) ;
Sumo noodle-eating contest ;
