Olympics - London 2012

There have been some major fok'ns in boxing scoring.

They got rid of baseball and softball so they don't have those. But they've got trampoline and modern pentathlon and speed walking.

and ping pong and synchronized swimming

I was reading today that in 2016 they are adding golf and Rugby 7's.

I am all for golf.

I don't mind the concept of rugby at all but I don't know what they mean by rugby 7's. Spose I could look it up but for now I think I'd prefer to just shake my fist at it and say it don't sound right.

 

[wal66]

Wouldn't that be 7 on 7 Rugby?

No clue, know nothing about the sport but that comes to mind.

 

[Mudcat]

It sounds like 7 on 7 rugby.

But I am positive that regular rugby has more than 7 guys. So why not just play regular rugby which is already a well-established game?

Why mini-teams? Why not just play the game?

They don't play 7 on 7 soccer. Okay there is a fair chance I would prefer 7 on 7 soccer. But for the many fans of the game, it would be ridiculous. It would be like, there's already a game, just play it.


Do you hear what I'm saying? I'm saying


WHY THE MINI-TEAMS?

Isn't it obvious Muddy? We are in a recession.

I'd go with Rugby but I'd oppose golf. But then again I'd always oppose golf. I've been watching too much Carlin

You get a better workout playing a round of golf and walking 5 miles than playing ping ping. Have you ever seen a ping pong player sweat?

 

[roguejuror]

To me it doesn't make much sense to include sports that are popular on their own. Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, Golf, don't need this Olympic shit. The glory of their tournaments is much more than the value of Olympic gold. I would like to see futsal at the Olympics. Fuk that Rugby 7 crap.

 

[Saulty]

You need to explain to our North American posters what futsal is.

I thought he meant Foosball. Sometimes RJ struggles with translations.

Lol...actually it's like handball but you can't use your hands.

 

[wal66]

Until today I didn't even know Handball (played the way they play it) was a sport.

I see this Futsal is mini-soccer. I think I could get on board if they would play mini-soccer with midgets.

This is the one and only thing I am willing to agree on.

 

[reno cool]

they need 3 more stroke types and 5 more distances for swimming

gotta love the Mexican channel. It's Boxing boxing and more boxing. They don't care what country, they just show the shit. And no grandmother stories.
