This and every Monday, the Bweinh!tributors, having convened in secret for hours of reasoned debate and consideration, will issue a brief and binding ruling on an issue of great societal import.
This week’s question — What is the most ridiculous Olympic sport?
Steve delivers the ruling of the Council, joined by Connie, Chloe, and Job:
“Rhythmic Gymnastics is a sport that combines elements of ballet, gymnastics, theatrical dance, and apparatus manipulation.” I’m okay with all of that except the “sport” part.
Josh concurs in part, joined by Erin:
Anything that requires a panel of (crooked, biased, pretentious) judges to determine a winner.
MC-B dissents, joined by Kaitlin:
Curling — sliding rocks across ice while people sweep and scream (a lot).
Djere dissents:
“BMX” – Save it for the ‘X’ Games, kid.
Tom joins this dissenting opinion:
Korfball. Any sport whose main distinction is that it is designed “so that both men and women have equal opportunities” is by definition ridiculous.
David joins this dissenting opinion:
Shooting a rifle on skis seems pretty stupid to me.
Mike played no part in the determination of this issue.
Next time: What is the most difficult book of the Bible to understand?
