If I was asked to rate my skills around the dynamic and exciting sport of flower arranging I'd say I'm a solid four out of ten but I'm in training for the next Olympics and hope to represent my country and win gold - even though it seems these days mediocrity seems more rewarded than hard work and effort...but let me back up a little first.
I've liked and played sports from a very young age. I played for fun, the passion it evokes and to win and have won (and lost) a lot in recreational and competitive sports. I've done various sports from soccer, cricket, American football, tennis, field hocky, athletics, badminton, golf (I'm terrible at golf), volleyball, motor racing, and other sports besides and have been really good, average or fucken terrible at them. These days I play less sports but still watch and enjoy it.
I look forward to the Olympics as it's a focused opportunity to watch a lot of sports and I like to see Australia kicking ass...but as the years have gone by and the Olympic Committee sells out more and more I like it less and less, or have to be more selective with when I tune in as it seems anything can be an Olympic sport these days and I don't agree with many of the sports included.
A while back when I heard that the retarded and fucken stupid dance style called break dancing was introduced to the France Olympics I figured things had hit rock bottom...Seriously, break dancing as an Olympic sport? They have skateboarding, trampolining and other such things too...so it's maybe not so ridiculous to think that flower arranging might be next. Sounds dumb? Not as fucken dumb as break dancing!
Anyway, I'm a purist and feel the Olympics should include (only) events like athletics, track and field, boxing, wrestling, javelin, discus, swimming, rowing, weight lifting and other such things that in the old days were included. Things like golf, tennis, sailing, beach volley ball and all that other shit that, while being legitimate sports, in this modern era don't speak to the traditional nature of the Olympics...I know why they're there though, commercialism and marketing, (it's all about selling advertising space), I just don't feel they should be there.
With this in mind and because it seems I'm the minority and people want to see more fucken stupid sports at the Olympics, I thought I'd put together a list of potential 'sports' that I think should be included in the 2028 in Los Angeles USA - I'm going to campaign to have them added.
Flower arranging - Come on now, you know you love it...flowers, arranging, vases. So awesome.
Bread buttering - An exciting sport involving bread, butter and a knife.
Nose picking - It takes a true sportsman or women to compete in this one.
BTC market price posting on Hive - You know, simply posting the ups and downs of BTC on Hive.
Whining and complaining - An exciting sport that so many people love - so many complainers.
One handed bra removing - This one is going to be popular.
Gender identifying - There's currently 227 genders so this will be hotly contested.
Snow boot putting on - This one is for the winter Olympics.
Belly button lint cleaning - The nose-pickers might be good at this event.
Reality TV show watching - Riveting shit I assure you.
That's just a small selection, there's many more that could be included and I think you could contribute.
Is there a 'sport' you believe should be included in the Olympics? If so, please feel free to add to my own list but commenting what it is and why in the comments of this post. I'll be collating the suggestions and putting a proposal to the corrupt Olympic Committee for the 2028 Olympics.
