Is "the Olympics because it provides an opportunity to plot an attack that will get the whole worlds attention." seriously a page on facebook? If so, thats disgusting and needs to be taken down.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to U Gotta Love It Baby again. Rep-worthy post though.
Equestrian is 50/50 for me..
On the one hand it takes incredible skill to wield those horses..
On the other hand, you need good horses to win, and if you can't get your hand on a decent horse, you're F***ed before you even start.

If you can afford to get started in equestrian competitions, you can probably afford a decent horse.

This reminded me of George Carlin's view about there only being three real sports (edited slightly for language):
To my way of thinking there are really only three sports: baseball, basketball, and football. Everything else is either a game or an activity.
Hockey comes to mind. People think hockey is a sport. It's not. Hockey is three activities taking place at the same time: ice skating, fooling around with a puck, and beating the crap out of somebody. If these guys had more brains than teeth, they'd do these things one at a time. First go ice-skating, then fool around with a puck, then you go to the bar and beat the crap out of somebody. The day would last longer, and these guys would have a lot more fun. Another reason why hockey isn't a sport is that it's not played with a ball. Anything not played with a ball can't be a sport. These are my rules, I make 'em up.
Soccer. Soccer is not a sport because you can't use your arms. Anything where you can't use your arms can't be a sport. Tap dancing isn't a sport. I rest my case.
Running. People think running is a sport. Running isn't a sport because anybody can do it. I can run, you can run. For Christ sakes, my mother can run! You don't see her on the cover of Sports Illustrated, do you?
Swimming. Swimming isn't a sport. Swimming is a way to keep from drowning. That's just common sense.
Sailing isn't a sport. Sailing is a way to get somewhere. Riding the bus isn't a sport, why the hell should sailing be a sport?
Boxing is not a sport either. Boxing is a way to beat the crap out of somebody. In that respect, boxing is actually a more sophisticated way of hockey. In spite of what the police tell you, beating the crap out of somebody is not a sport. When police brutality becomes an Olympic event, fine, then boxing can be a sport.
Bowling. Bowling isn't a sport because you have to rent shoes. Don't forget, these are my rules. I make 'em up.
Billiards. Some people think billiards is a sport, but it can't be, because there's no chance of serious injury. Unless, of course, you welch on a bet in a tough neighborhood. Then, if you wind up with a pool cue stickin' out of your ***, you know you might be the victim of a sports-related injury. But that ain't billiards, that's pool, and that starts with a P, and that rhymes with D, and that brings me to darts.
Darts could have been a sport, because at least there's a chance to put someone's eye out. But, alas, darts will never be a sport, because the whole object of the game is to reach zero, which goes against all sports logic.
Lacrosse is not a sport; lacrosse is a fruity college activity. I don't care how rough it is, anytime you're running around a field, waving a stick with a little net on the end of it, you're engaged in a fruity college activity. Period.
Field hockey and fencing. Same thing. Fruity college crap. Also these activities aren't sports, because you can't gamble on them. Anything you can't gamble on can't be a sport. When was the last time you made a friggin' fencing bet?
Gymnastics is not a sport because Romanians are good at it. It took me a long time to come up with that rule, but goddammit, I did it.
Polo isn't a sport. Polo is golf on horseback. Without holes. It's a great concept, but not a sport. And as far as water polo is concerned, I hesitate to even mention it, because it's extremely cruel to horses.
Which brings me to hunting. You think hunting is a sport? Ask the deer. The only good thing about hunting is the many fatal accidents on the weekends. And, of course, the permanently disfigured hunters who survive such accidents.
Then you have tennis. Tennis is very trendy and very fruity, but it's not a sport. It's just a way to meet other trendy fruits. Technically, tennis is an advanced form a Ping-Pong. In fact, tennis is Ping-Pong played while standing on the table. Great concept, not a sport.
In fact, all racket games are nothing more the derivatives of Ping-Pong. Even volleyball is, technically, racketless, team Ping-Pong played with an inflated ball and raised net while standing on the table.
And finally welcome to golf. Let it just be said golf is a game that might possibly be fun, if it could be played alone. But it's the vacuous, striving, superficial, male-bonding joiners one has to associate with that makes it such a repulsive pastime. And it is decidedly not a sport. Period.

I'd be down with a baseball-basketball-football Olympic program.

While this is awesome. Baseball should be added to the not a sport. Because standing around for 3 hours watching 2 guys play catch is not a sport.
I've decided water polo needs to be added to the list.

I love me some Olympics. I wish their were more sports. Croquet, Jarts, jenga, puzzle making, freeze tag, i would watch more if there were more.
Not one second. Too busy cheating on my taxes to watch that crap.

Uhh, I'd keep women's basketball in, too. Have you seen Croatia's backup PG?
Does she jump-step and travel every time she touches the ball?
Disagree. My favorite event this summer was synchornized rhythmic horse walking.
I'm trying to think of a horse/dick joke, but I'm just not feeling it right now.
