Olympic Men's Handball?
Watching the Olympics and "men's handball" came on. I was waiting for two guys in a square room slapping the hell out of a little black ball like we used to do. Not. It's a bunch of grown men running around a court trying to throw rubber ball into a youth sized soccer goal. WTH? I am sure there are some other stupid Olympic 'sports" but this one has to rank towards the top.

How about twirling a ribbon, or synchronized swimming?
Next Olympics I'm voting for bottle caps and marbles. Maybe even jacks and box ball.

Kinda like GOLF as an Olympic sport. I like golf but they play it every damn weekend, Ryder Cup, Solheim Cup, C cup and who knows what else cup.
Doesn't need to be an Olympic sport unless you're playing dodge ball at the same time.
