I've seen about all the beach Volleyball and Water polo that I can stand. When do the real events start. Horseshoes, Corn Hole? You have got to be kidding no Corn Hole!
You know basketball was invented as a sport to play inside the barn in the winter while the football players waited for baseball in the spring. Why in the world is basketball a summer sport?
Now let me see now under the events called Equestrian they have Dressage, eventing and jumping. Where is polo? I looked in up in the old Webster's Dictionary just to make sure what polo is. It is a game played on horseback. Polo is not an Olympic sport but water polo is. Where are the horses?
Football is an official Olympic sports but I have not seen one touchdown on NBC yet. Football is the #1 TV viewing sport in American but NBC continues to hide football. All I keep seeing are these 1-0 soccer matches.
My father was an Electrician by trade and after 20 years he was hired at Bertie High School to teach Electrical House wiring. They use to go off each year to the FAA convention and had contest to see who could wire up a room by the floor plan. Twice he had the state champion. Fencing is an Olympic sport and I think watching someone build a fence would be good TV viewing but they keep showing these guys poking each other with a real flexible long knives.
They have a category called shooting. I wonder whether Rocky Mount has anyone in these events since there are a lot of people in Rocky Mount who practice every night. They hit people every now and then. I am sure that some of the people around here who stand on street corners would go home and watch TV they would have known about shooting in the Olympics.
They have wrestling Greco-Roman, freestyle. Where's WWE? Did you know hockey is a summer sport. I haven't seen it yet but it must be played on roller skates because Ice Hockey doesn't do too well this time of year.
All I know if badminton is an Olympic sport what have we got to do to get horseshoes in? If Table Tennis is an Olympic sport where is pool or to be proper Billiards. I sure would love to be on the committee that is in charge of what qualifies as an Olympic Sport. Corn Hole would be on my list to make it the next Olympic Sport.
