Is Pole Dancing Too Sexy For The Olympics?

[RickSp]

When you get down to it most of the Olympic gymnastic competitions are a bit odd. After all gymnasts compete on a horse. Is a pole so different than the parallel bars except perhaps in orientation?

I think the luge, which involves dressing up as an inflatable sex doll and riding down the slope on a skateboard at high speed, looks a bit dodgy.

My favorite Olympic sport is the biathlon, combining shooting and cross country skiing. The guy in first place always knows that the dude just behind him has a rifle and is a crack shot. Now that is competition.

When you get down to it, most Olympic sports are a bit weird, never mind just the gymnastics. What in the hell is with that power walking stuff? Or Curling? Throwing stones down an ice rink and getting some well trained jannys to sweep up before it is a sport how?

In any case, I tend to avoid sports competitions for as long as possible. I just don't see much point, and I have never liked jocks.

With me I liked the sports, I liked playing them, I still like watching them, I just cant stand the people who play them.

I failed to see the point, and still do. With rare exception, I don't really like sports or those that really get into them.

Its a competitive thing. Winning and doing well for your team is a buzz. Thats about it really. Also its fun. Even when you lose, its just fun.

Sport...it's more fun than exercising by yourself. And if you're a physical person, then it's an appropriate outlet for that physicality. It's also an excellent outlet for any pent-up aggression, and can be a good distraction from the vagaries of our complex lives, while staying fit.

Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life...how people conduct themselves on a sporting oval, is a good indicator as to how they conduct themselves in RL...are they cheats, good winners or losers, are they self-obsessed, are they team-players, are they tacticians, etc?

Ever wonder why so many businesspeople play golf? The above reasons have a lot to do with it....but also, it's a sport where you can still participate in your senior years, while it offers you exercise, nice scenery and some fun and challenges, all at the same time.

Cheers.
