How about synchonized dog walking? Complete with pooper-scoopers, which must be used to scoop real dog poop during the event.

This could consist of teams of four or more. To be entirely PC, person and dog should be considered as one team of two contestants.

Beach volleyball?

What's wrong with beach volleyball? Perhaps you would prefer more traditional sports like the women's shot put and discus.

Yes, I have a suggestion! For once I'd like to turn on the TV and see men participating in the Olympics!

How about Spittle Flinging? Howard Dean and Al Gore would medal for sure.

Or Whining and Whimpering? John Kerry would take the gold (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1196494/posts).

Or Lying? Man, that'd be a competition. I still think Bill Clinton would score a perfect 10. There's just none better.

Isn't ballroom dancing being considered?

I'd like to watch the "Two-Man Pallbearing Relay".

Bowling and poker -- two wonderful sports that involve drinking and smoking

I'll start watching the Olympics when they include "bull riding". The most exciting sport of all. Both participants, the bull & the rider, are supreme athletes.

NASCAR style racing!!!!!!!

Let's see, other things, ear wax sculpting, Final Fantasy marathons on Sony Playstations, marathon role playing game sessions (dice tossing can be a separate event), lighting flatulence, see who gets the biggest and longest lasting flames. B-)

Oh yeah, more important, we can have "whack a liberal" like the "whack a mole" game. B-)

It's all about the money. Anything that will generate a larger audience of viewers will allow them to sell the TV rights for more money.

The only Olympics that still has any integrity is the Paralympics. Even that, though, has its bad actors. BTW, how many hours of the Paralympics is being aired in the U. S.?

The answer is zero.

How about watermelon seed spitting and cherry pit spitting both for distance and accuracy ;-)

Badmitton has been an Olympic sport for some time. People always complain about it; but, my understanding is that this is NOT your "backyard badmitton" game. The shuttlecock moves at impressive speeds. Still, it does sound silly.

My personal peeve is beach volleyball. I might be able to take it more seriously if the females playing were dressed similarly to the males playing this sport. The men wear sleeveless t-shirts, roomy and long, with what looks like walking/cargo shorts. The girls wear bikinis. Sorry, this is just too obviously different for me to take either (but especially the women) seriously.

I always hear these complaints, though, about certain sports not actually being sports. Equestrian comes to mind. I have come to the conclusion that if you aren't watching a particular sport, or if you don't like that sport, you want it tossed out.

Beach Volleyball?

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Womens Beach Volleyball - the clothing they wear is just about....right!
