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 cant come soon enough.
It cant come soon enough.
Where do you stand on this, the most important issue of our time?
Should Cornhole be an Olympic event?
Tailgate Olympics
She is executing what is called a Windmill Throw.
Bravo, young lady! Bravo!
You know I now know how US Army Private Adolph Hitler in WWII felt. Heck no! Let the other guy change HIS.
Do you need TP for your bunghole when you play that?
DANG!
That name has been in use for the favorite Olympic sport of rump rangers since my grandfather’s day at least. I haven’t heard it used to as a name for a beanbag game until this year. If they’re organized enough to make a sport of it, perhaps they should work out a better title first.
Only in Greenland.
Can't be gay anymore, can't wear a rainbow shirt, can't ask for a tea bag..... Pfoohy.
My language, my shirt, my beverage choice, my game.... let them come up with their own names!
As for adding "bean bag" to the Olympics, why not also add darts (American and British), horseshoes, and tabletop shuffleboard? They can be held in both the summer and winter Olympics, there are already a lot of competitors, and there are plenty of viewers. Also, the beer and liquor companies would fight each other to sponsor the Olympics with those events. The at-home drinking games would be legendary.
Earl Flopper?
I was hoping for Sasuke/Kunoichi (Ninja Warrior), especially with the Olympics being in Tokyo.
Cornhole (sometimes corn hole) is a sexual slang vulgarism for anus. The term came into use in the 1910s in the United States. Its verb form to cornhole, which came into usage in the 1930s, means to have anal sex.

Hahahaha...my first thought when I read that title was “Only if they will be allowed to have a beer in one hand when competing!”
You throw a bag filled with corn through a hole.
What else could it be called?
Cricket?
I would think “Cornhole” as a term for the game predates the unpleasant meaning many get from the name today. But I could be wrong-
It’s fine as a pastime, just not an olympic sport. I feel the same way about golf, curling, and dressage. I also believe that by my rules, pole dancing should at least be considered as an olympic sport.
It really needs some improvement. I visualize a Messkin commentator screeching “Gooooooooooooooooal!!!” after every successful throw.
We call it bean bag toss. I have a set for playing. Corn hole must be an Indiana thing.
Anyone whos been there never sees Niblets quite the same....
I suppose you have some kind of dirty behavior associated with other sports.
What does checkers mean to you?
