Should Cornhole Be An Olympic Sport?
The Cornhole Post | 10/31/20 | blueunicorn6

Posted on 10/31/2020 4:56:17 PM PDT by blueunicorn6

Few sports have seen the explosive growth enjoyed by Cornhole. Millions of players around the globe grab their sacks and fling them at holes in boards. Resembling something like a cross between hopscotch and competitive ax throwing, Cornhole is a game of stamina and speed.

Cornhole has become so popular that in some circles, you can hear discussion of it becoming an Olympic event.

Earl Flopper, President of the Cornhole Association Of Greenland says that it can’t come soon enough.

“It can’t come soon enough.”

Where do you stand on this, the most important issue of our time?

Should Cornhole be an Olympic event?

Cornhole is a family friendly game.

Yep at the annual church picnic it is nearly as popular as Pickle Ball in the parking lot.

“I always thought “Cornhole” was a euphemism for anal sex.”

It is ...and for what government does to you.

... name is truly unfortunate.

Cornholing was a thing long before “Cornhole the game”

If we lose the election, then it will become a synonym for Biden/Harris.

Think I'll just skip the corn-whatever, and try to learn ax throwing. Likely a more useful skill, given the number of riots we've had this year. Plus, I already have a hand ax (made by my great-grandfather, at the forge on his farm ;>)...

Why not Cornhole? We already have synchronized swimming and diving.

What’s next? Pole dancing?

I want them to change the name. That used to mean something entirely...um...different. When I see people playing it, I will sometimes remark: “Look at those people over there cornholing.” . My hopes is this will cause them to see their error here.

If they allow skateboarding, why not as it takes considerable skill to consistently sink that bag.

Got a co-worker some years back when I asked if him and his wife wanted to go to the Cornhole Festival. It’s really called the Corn Festival but figured I’d have some fun with him. Anyway, after I asked him his eyes got as big as saucers and he started backing up all worried like saying that wasn’t his thing. LMAO and messed with him the rest of the week on that one. Still LMAO when I think about it as he was just a youngster.

If synchronized swimming can be an event, I see no reason why cornhole shouldn’t be.

If you can compete at the olympic level while wearing a top hat, in the second trimester of pregnancy, or after five beers, it’s not a sport.

I don’t want to see the Men’s Cornhole Squad.

Don’t look, Ethyl! But it was too late, she’d already been mooned. < /Ray Stevens - The Streak >

THIS is cornhole. Definitely an all-American game and best played outdoors at a barbecue or picnic. Unfortunately some Freepers here have a dirty mind.

This is one of the Top 5 games for beer drinkers. Right up there with Darts, Bocce, volleyball and KanJam (an addictive variation of frisbee golf).
