Really? Really?

Okay so it's been forever and a day since I have blogged and this one ain't going to be long. It's simple. I don't know jack diddily crap about sports. I bowl, I used to golf. I have never seen a live football game. The one football game I attended in high school I spent my time smoking behind the bleachers and making fun of people who actually gave a shit about the game. After saying all this I will tell you that I have been really enjoying watching the Olympics. Yes I am enjoying the soft core porn aspect of the men's gymnastics and diving and swimming (wasn't it so much better when they wore the speedos instead of those NASA inspired androgynous suits?) I have also enjoyed watching many of the other events like track and field, that sort of thing. My roommate and I cried when we were watching the US women's rowing team sing the Star Spangled Banner. I know, how jingoistic of me, right?

My blog has been used many times to rant and today's short entry is no different. I'm dumbfounded. Really dumbfounded. Badminton is a SPORT? I don't really care how fast that shuttlecock moves, badminton is not a real fucking sport. Ping Pong is not a real fucking sport. It's fucking hand eye coordination. Rhythmic Gymnastics, not a sport. BMX, not a sport. Really, seriously, I mean I know that the international Olympic committee has to balance these lesser sports as they are well known in underdeveloped countries (okay maybe not BMX) but it's really fucking annoying to turn on what I think are going to be athletes and see two people playing ping pong. If this is the case then I want you to look out London 2012, I'm coming to play Wii tennis and I'm taking home GOLD bitches!
