I always figured it was too brutal and bloody to ever be accepted into the Olympics.

I would expect that if it becomes an Olympic Sport, that it will be wussified down to the level of a dance competition.

That was the reason why my suggestion - reinstate pistol dueling - was rejected by the Olympics committee. What a bunch of wimps.

And note that I said “return” there. Pistol Dueling was actually a sport at the 1908 Olympics. The targets there were plastic dummies.
