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?

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

I saw the most thrilling Cornhole game of my life at the Thule National Cornhole Stadium. The Kangerlussuaq Cookie Tossers vs. the Manitsoq Manholes.

You’re clinging to the obtuse

It’s been cornhole for anal sex for over 100 years

I never saw this bean bag toss called that till a few years ago

So quit scolding

Folks reaction to the name is quite appropriate

It’s a poor choice of name

You saw “The Game”?

That was one for all times!

I was on the edge of my seat for that one?

So...Hussein obunghole will be a captain for the U.S. team??

I was with a small group at an Army briefing and at the break all the females left the room. This retired Marine Colonel fighter pilot was giving the briefing. He said, “I’m just an old country boy from North Carolina that became a fighter pilot and I’m be damned I didn’t know they gave awards for this.” He put up a slide of two men winning a corn hole tournament and holding a big trophy. Several of us fell out of our seats we were laughing so hard.

I would say yes, but only if they can find a way to incorporate Swifter mops, like curling. Let’s also add potato sack racing, pin the tail on the donkey, bobbing for apples, and musical chairs.

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.

I asked every manager/owner of venues that had the game “do you ever worry about guys from San Francisco starting fights because cornhole wasn’t what they thought it was?”

I was in a Bass Pro Shop in Central Virginia and they had a display for bean bag toss and that was what was on the boxes. I’m sure some marketing person said, “If you want to sell any of these to mostly men who hunt and fish you need to use this name.”

I thought this was one of the top 5 beer drinking games (along with poker and quarters)

It is amusing how the rest of the country demands that we respect their history, culture and traditions but if you are from the mid-west it is perfectly ok to make fun of, denigrate or demand that we change our culture and traditions.

I wonder if they can spell hypocrite?

That is so disgusting. It reminds me of the libertines’ grotesque pronunciation of Uranus.

Personally, I don’t want to spend my mental energy on thinking about what sticks to whores’ shoes.

Just sayin’.

"I thought you had to drink five or six beers before you were in condition to do that."

It would take a hell of a lot more than five or six!

"I heard it’s the official sport of Washington DC."

Maybe, but my money's on San Francisco.

"No. But those guys are amazing!"

Maybe, but I'd hate to come out in the morning headlines as the Champion Cornholer!
