Anyone else think some of these silly olympic events need to be eliminated??

Question

yes i realize i can switch the channel and believe me I do switch after I spend a couple minute laughing at these "atheletes". But I I rather be watching real events.

Answer 1

yea the walking marathon was so weird and dumb

Answer 2

America is the king of trivial sports. Water polo? Beach Volleyball? Women's soccer? LMAO...

Answer 3

Does your tv receive other channels?

Answer 4

The Race Walk needs to go! Leave the swimming events alone. It's not ping pong, it's table tennis. The Equestrian needs to go too. It's the dumbest of all!

Answer 5

The Apocalypse is here.   I was expecting someone to be struck by lightning, or turned to a pillar of salt during the beach volleyball final.

White bikinis in pouring rain!!??!!?  How can anyone pretend that's an Olympic sport?!

I like T&A as much as the next guy, but lets call it what it is!!

If it ain't chiseled on a Greek ruin, it doesn't belong in the Olympics.

Answer 6

Titus do you know anything?

Water polo - invented in UK

Beach Volleyball - I'll give you that

Soccer - Has been around since before the US was even established

Get your facts right, instead of sounding like some ignorant hater.

Answer 7

The walking could go, but table tennis/ping pong is a huge sport- don't forget it played a pivotal role in the cold war!!!

Synchronized swimming, diving etc- the women need something to watch :)

Answer 8

wow...

i hate how people keep asking what the point of different sports are. What the h**l is the point of any sport... seriously.  For the athletes it's to work hard and achieve something. but honestly it doesn't matter if you don't like to watch one or the other... everyone has different opinions. Let's just admire the athletes for the  years of sweat and tears they went through to get there. Or you can just be ignorant and diss any sport that doesn't suit your taste. that one sounds like more fun apparently.

Answer 9

I would pay to see backward running. LOL

I agree however, and think swimming should be in the open water and the first one back on shore wins.

Answer 10

When it comes right down to it, they are all silly.  It's just competition.  What makes one silly and one not?  

Answer 11

i suggest u stop watching the Olympics then some of those that u mentioned are silly like walking, but i have to disagree with the diving and swimming those people have to really work at that c**p. im sure u couldnt do it if you tried
