Quote:Good point. Another example is our ping-pong team. I heard a nice segment on NPR discussing it. Entirely composed of Chinese ex-patriots, which is no shock considering Ping-pong is barely considered a sport by most of the USA, and mostly seen in rec centers or garages =)Well, is ping pong a sport? I mean, is tennis a rip off of ping pong (played standing on the table), or vice versa(table tennis)? How about synchronized swimming? But, some of the sports are laughable. 2 man canoe, 2 women dingy, trampoline... On principle I won't complain about <strike>Nude</strike> Bikini Beach Volleyball, because whoever got that into the Olympics is a genius. Now they just need to work on getting German Beer Boot guzzling added. Why not dodge ball? Why not roller derby? Or, maybe those are better left for the X games. :)
I guess the Czech's Katerina Emmons just won a Gold medal for 10 meter competitive BB gun shooting.
What are some sports you think should be in the Olympics?
I would vote for... Paintball! That reminds me... I heard of a great team building exercise for companies. The workers get paintball guns, and the managers get deer costumes.
