Notes_Norton Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I quit watching the Olympics in the 1980s. I know others like it, and there is nothing wrong with that, but for me, it's a waste of time. Actually, I quit watching all sports for that reason. Notes ♫ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes ♫ I stopped watching any and all sports at 12 years old. Though I might start again if Kilgore Trout had any input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I had a very good guitar student for 4 years around 5 years ago. She sells insurance now on the phone, but I had lunch with her last year. She says her “career” is “ pole dancing”. And says they are trying to get THAT recognized as a sport and into the Olympics. The Greeks would be so proud.

sparquelito Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Yeesh. Break dancing was culturally popular in the US for about, what? Ten minutes back in the 1980's? Who dreams up this nonsense? 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things you do when you're young and dumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I'm not a sports fan, but to me, sports are contests that are easily judged with a point/score or similar system. It's obvious who wins a football, basketball, soccer, tennis, baseball or other contest. But when you get to things like ice dancing, break dancing, and other events that are judged on artistic merits, IMO they are no longer sports, and shouldn't be contests. Why? There is never, or seldom, a clear winner. It's up to artistic interpretation. It would be like going to a jam session, having everyone play a solo in the same song, and then decide who won. But then, I'm not a sports consumer, so they aren't pitching their products towards me. But for those who watch it, and those who participate in it, it's good, clean fun. It's just not for me and probably a few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Are the Olympic Committee in cahoots with the RNRHOF, and are so out of touch with today and what sports most college, pro's, and young kids play. Did we teleport back to the '80s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 In Women's Gymnastics - the Floor Exercise is like 'break dancing'. Maybe the East German 'women' are pushing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
