Is the NFL maneuvering to push the league away from tackle and into flag football? Has the NFL donated significantly to the Olympics in an effort to mainstream flag football?

If the RATS move all the Hammies here as refugeez, we could probably get them to add, Armed Paragliding as an event.

I’m actually surprised that bowling, tug of war, and pole dancing aren’t Olympic sports, by now. Guys would love to watch pole dancing, and tug of war used to be an Olympic sport, a very long time ago.

I wish they still had boxing. If they didn’t make the rules too sissified, it would be quite exciting, as it was in the past.

>>Four sports were added to the upcoming Paris games: Surfing, skateboarding, breaking and sport climbing.

So boxing, which was in the original Olympics, is out, but breakdancing is now an Olympic ‘sport’?? How civilization has fallen!

Good that they added Cricket. I’ve been watching some lately and it’s a great game, not to mention that it’s the worlds 2nd most popular sport.

I wonder which format they’ll choose? T20 would be my choice.

Would they add tent making, panhandling and looting?

I don’t know if it’s all that popular worldwide. It helps that 1.75 billion Indians and Pakistanis are fanatics. Outside of Australia, Britain, and the West Indies, who else is there?

Any sport where one can play silly mid off gets my vote.

Flag football? What’s next? Kickball, dodgeball and drop-the-handkerchief?

There’s a cricket team in Compton, a college town south of Los Angeles, which started in the 1990’s and is still in business.

Been watching the Cricket World Cup. T20 makes sense.
