    Not pointed at you OP, but it kind of pisses me off how this lady got more attention than the actual breakers and medalists the Olympics.

        Eh, painting and chess used to be Olympic sports. Shooting/air rifle still is. Break dancing requires more physicality than all of those.

        I don’t particularly care about gatekeeping what activities are added/subtracted to the Olympics, as long as it’s competitive and entertaining to watch.

          This is everything wrong with the Olympic committee.

          They will put the games in whichever country bribes them most and they will put any “sports” in so long as they a wined and dined.

          They will happily threaten sports that have been in the games since the greeks and bend and twist them till they’re unrecognizable.

      I don’t care about the Olympics, and many people are the same. So funny shit like this is the only redeeming thing.

      Aussie Aussie Aussie!

      Seriously though she’s shocking. Going into the Olympics with no one but herself and her message in mind
