[Giddyup]

Corn hole and darts should be included if we have handball and 3v3

SIAP but lmao

Stanford hasn’t even had one game yet as of member of the ACC, but the conference is claiming her as one of their own 😂

Despite the fact that she graduated in 2021. LOL

I assume pickleball will be in by 2040

 

[Giddyup]

We have had a Target and Best Buy store in our area close post Covid. Both spaces were filled as pickleball facilities and they seem to do very good business. It's everywhere.

Same here. City is building a bunch of courts.

That too.

Or converting old tennis courts.

Country club nearby now has pickleball courts as well.

Had to give up tennis about a year ago with some shoulder issues, and I am now fully addicted to pickleball...

The city where I play just added 9 more courts to our complex. There are now 27 courts and they are packed dawn till 10:00 PM every day.

Pickleball is giant ping pong right?

Not a Boomer sport anymore. Wouldn't be surprised to see it in the Olympics by 28 or 32.

Basically, yes.

Would have to be 32 or later, New sports for 28 are selected already.

 

[NDohio]

I don't think it'll happen for a while...

The Olympic Charter indicates that in order to be accepted, a sport must be widely practiced by men in at least 75 countries and on four continents and by women in no fewer than 40 countries and on three continents

Probably "Padel", the Euro version my Samsung TV autoplayed for like 3 months. It's pretty cool. Pickleball but it's enclosed and the walls are in play, so it has an element of squash.

 

[calvegas04]

Trampoline also has to go unless they add some type of combat to it

 

[GATTACA!]

How is dodgeball not in?

 

[ulukinatme]

Meanwhile, the actual male rapist of a 12 year old didn't warrant so much as one pearl clutched.

I get it.

Just heard about that. No, that dude can go meet a woodchipper.

The Romanovians would dominate the women's league.

Cam McEvoy finally gets our first men’s gold.

WTH Handball is great.

 

[T-Boone]

Croquet should be in for sure. No joke it’s a pretty good sport.

Too many fuckin dickheads on this site to not use the Ignore feature.

 

[NDRock]

What a 10,000 meter run. Grant F’ing Fisher!

 

[GATTACA!]

Is that doctored footage?? Holy shit 🍑

Yeah there’s been tons of pushback. He’s getting booed mercilessly every time he’s introduced. Idk where the idea that no one cares came from.

That dude lucked out. The way it worked was he committed the crime and was sentenced in the UK. For some reason once he was extradited the sentence was changed because of how the laws work in the Netherlands and he ended up only having to serve 13 months or something. Then because they can’t discriminate against former felons if they served their time and have been released the Dutch team legally couldn’t reject him because of it.

Yeah, I feel like allowing a pedophile to compete isn't exactly part of the Olympic spirit. Dude deserves worse than getting booed at every event. 13 months is a ridiculous sentence for such a crime. Damn legal loopholes.

Oh god I hope you don’t think Granger is a fuckin dickhead. He’s just Marcus’ neighbor.

I'd say bring back one of the old events: tug o' war
