What about Matchbox Jumping and the 100 Meter for People With No Sense of Direction and maybe the 100 Meter for Non-Swimmers?

Olympic squash will give the world something new to hate.

I guess if they still have badminton they might as well have squash, but what about jai alai?

And they’ll have to find out what the original Native American name for “lacrosse” was before they can put it in the Olympics.

I think lacrosse is a great spectator sport, but is it played anywhere besides the US and Canada?

The Olympics are completely asinine. The last serious Olympics I watched were in 1984.

Lacrosse is a real sport.

Cricket is a game, like golf.

Flag football is for kids.

Too many fake sports. The only olympic sports should count are track and field events. Then maybe wrestling. Swimming. That's about it.

Basketball should become a World Cup competition. Like they do with soccer. Or with baseball is doing with World Baseball Classic.

I suppose Midget Bowling, Tic-Tac-Toe, Dwarf Tossing and Boggle are not on the list?

How about a nice game of Global Thermonuclear War?
