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?

The game is pretty big here in Ohio. I built a set of boards myself. When people say “cornhole” around here nobody bats an eye.

Good decision. You don’t want to fall into a viscous circle.

Me too. I knew this was going to be a jocular thread.

I had no idea that cornholing was a Midwestern cultural tradition. A thousand apologies!

Are we talking backyard cook out cornhole or the prison kind?

We grow a lot of corn here.

So it was either fill the bag with corn or soy beans. Soybeanholing is hard to say. :)

And beanholing is how your grandma made Sunday dinner and is an entirely different thing.

No apology necessary! Not sure what state you’re from. If it isn’t big where you are, land yourself some boards, grill up some burgers, tell you friends to bring a 12-pack, and run a little tournament. Your party will kick-a$$.

Cricket ?

peta is not going to let that happen. Unless someone comes up with protective gear for the Crickets to wear while in the bag and being thrown around.

Little helmets with face visors, leg padding and torso protection, etc.

Corn hole is big here.

Where?   Before I heard it called that unfortunate name, I had only heard it called "bean bag toss."

I truly suspect that the gay agenda of journalists perpetrated this misnomer.

It is not some bean bag game.

If it was, it would be called Beanhole.

The rules specifically call for corn filled bags.

The only “athletes” in that sport, are people who happen to play other sports.

You take that back!

The current Cornhole champ, Larry Lafromboix, runs five miles a day!

He does 200 pushups a day!

He does 1000 sit-ups a day!

Larry laughs at the weakling MMA people!

Cornhole Conquers!
