Just another reason the Olympics are a farce.

For 2028 olyphics catering to Blacks, in L.A. they are going to have the “ shoplifting “ competion. Trying to lift as close as possible to $949 USD without going over.

[Ikeon]

Or will 2028 b3 the year they introduce the “Pissing” contest?

Somehow I missed all this. It took me a bit to figure out what a breaker was. I must be getting old.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Throw away your dignity for attention, don’t be surprised people notice.

After the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles people were selling tee shirts with the Olympic event of Shoot, Loot and Scoot. And of course I didn’t get around to buying one…

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I’ve heard of some stupid events but this takes the cake.

[FLNittany]

Did any of them have boom boxes on their shoulder?

[sopo]

Seems like track, basketball and gymnastics is all the catering blacks need.

How does one score points for break dancing? What objective criteria is there to judge this?

[broken_clock]

Haha, I found one online!

[leaning conservative]

Ditto

Is this the one they were making fun of because it was so bad?

[Beowulf9]

Don’t feel bad. I still don’t know.

[Fai Mao]

Me too.

But really, baseball was dropped as an Olympic sport but ghetto dancing is in?

[xp38]

In breaking, female participants are known as 'b-girls', while males are referred to as 'b-boys'.

I can't wait for when the first b-trans infiltrates this. The comedy will be gold Jerry gold!

[Navy Patriot]

The Civilized Cultural Pinnacle of Western Society has been achieved, Break "Dancing" has been made an Olympic Event!

Please don't Laugh Yourself To Death.

[Gene Eric]

Does the breaker involve wind?

[xp38]

Tug of war was once an Olympic sport for 1 or 2 games near the turn of the century (1900). I’d love to see that return.
