Wednesday August 20th, 2008 TOP 5 DUMBEST EVENTS IN THE SUMMER OLYMPICS Overview: With the Summer Olympics underway in Beijing, the world remains hostage to a communist dictatorship hosting the Olympiad as we all honor second and third place finishers with meaningless medals. Other than that, the Olympics are great! Bottom line, most of the events in the Olympics are “activities,” or at the very best “strenuous athletic challenges,” as opposed to actual “sports.” Picking the 5 dumbest is truly a challenge. Criteria: Any currently included, in the 2008 summer games, Olympic event can be considered. Additionally, sports like basketball and baseball may be included on this list based on the idiotic rules changes which occur at the Olympics (like, for example the asinine extra inning rule in baseball which allows each team to start each half inning after the 9th with men on base and the batter of their choice at the plate…what the hell is that)? Rob's Notes: Bastardized screwed up baseball and basketball are still borderline actual sports. The Olympics are filled with totally bogus activities designed as actual feats of skill which drives me insane. Arnie's Notes: Look here, I loved jumping on the trampoline as a kid, but an Olympic game. Come on, and one of the contestants that won was named Dong Dong. Sailing just sucks, I know it worked for Columbus but he was looking for spices not GOLD.
