I am really trying here, ok?
(feddit.org)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Eh, painting and chess used to be Olympic sports. Shooting/air rifle still is. Break dancing requires more physicality than all of those.
I don't particularly care about gatekeeping what activities are added/subtracted to the Olympics, as long as it's competitive and entertaining to watch.
What's wrong with that lmao
Nothing, that's what I'm trying to say. All the "sports" I listed have some sort of skill expression that can be judged. Why is break dancing less worthy? Should skateboarding also not have been included? Why is making a horse hop around to music considered a "real sport"?
It's all arbitrary.
With the amount of physical activity needed, it can hardly be seen as a sport, let alone an Olympic one.
This is a stupid opinion. Go try competitive shooting and tell me how you do.
Try shooting a high quality air rifle.
