I swear, the more I think about the IOC doing away with baseball and now softball the more it infuriates me.

I'm sitting here and they are now showing "synchronized diving".

Other than synchronized swimming, this has to be the worst olympic sport ever.

Twelve year old Chinese girls dancing around with a ribbon or bouncy ball is not a sport.

I don't know, but last night I couldn't sleep so I was watching the olympics about 3 or 4am. The men's gymnastics were on and some ***** ***, not that there's anything wrong with that, announcer kept creaming all over himself about those lil guys. Granted those lil guys were doing some **** I wouldn't even try on those rings and that horse, but the guy threw out some words I am not sure anyone I know has ever used while describing what they were doing. He was saying **** like scoot and yikes repeatedly, but the one that got my attention was ginourmous. Not sure if my spelling relates the gayness coming through the tv.

Anyway, I don't plan on watching men's gymnastics again...

in men's skeet at the 2000 Olympics (he competed in 4 Olympic games). He was one of the best in the world for close to 15 years.

Shooting BB guns is a sport? Shooting at targets 10 meters away? That is carnival stuff. Do they get a stuffed animal? No, they get a medal!

All that equestrian crap might have to be the dumbest. The horses do 90% of the work and are responsible for the actual athleticism, and then we go and give the people the medals. That's pretty dumb.

And while a lot of the sports like diving and gymnastics are very popular, and although I enjoy them too, a lot of these sports that are 100% based on judging can really bother me. I think a lot of these judges are incredibly biased, and I can't figure out what drug they're on lots of times.

Ping Pong - Any sport that converts to a drinking game just by putting a cup of beer on the table doesn't deserve Olympic medal status
Equestrian - The damn horse should get the medal, not the sandbag riding on the horse
Trampoline - Even my fatass friends growing up could do flips on a trampoline
