Best Olympic Sport fashion diva !3wJfpCMhKc
What do you people think the best sport in the olympics is?
My vote goes to badminton. I don't know what it is, maybe the pace and speed of the reactions or maybe it's the fact that I don't get to see it normally, but badminton is my favorite. When it's on tv, I watch it over anything else. I'm watching it right now on nbc.com. And it's fucking sweet that clearly the only asian chick in france is a badminton olympian

I love soccer and tennis and volleyball, but for me, badminton is the best

boxing is the worst, btw. fuck you, olympic boxing

US Women's Softball. It's like the NFL Blitz of bat sports, because you know it's gonna be over in, like, 10 minutes.

Gymnastics and swimming is the most entertaining

Mostly to see who fucks up

Boxing's boring as fuck. No one dies

Synchronized swimming and Pentathlon since both require a great variety in skill.

I hate watching gymnastics, and I can't stand figure skating in the winter. It's too intense for me and I end up feeling so bad for the girls who fuck up that I can't even enjoy it

hockey is a fucking sexy sport, and kind of fun to watch

I was appalled, though, when I found out that there was a men's version. Fucking gross

The best Olympic sports are track and field and swimming. Nothing more exciting that the all out race to the end.

Also these two sports are only exciting in the Olympics.

I play hockey. Terribly violent for a non-contact sport.

But yeah, basically every country except America plays it. Australia fucking demolished South Africa today (10-0) :)

the girls in the US play it... at least they do in middle school high school and college

it's kind of gay for dudes, no?
Maybe not

Nah in Australia its quite a big male sport. Same with alot of places.

From what I've seen of US school hockey, it looks like shitty game on grass. Ours is more technical, and we play on synthetic surface (like astroturf or something).

Alpha male ausfag here, haha Hockey is a faggot's sport.
Stop thinking that 'real men' play it. Enjoy not playing league.

If anyone cares, the french asian chick is now tied with the chinese chick, whom I think is kinda super hot

I just realized that I was clapping really loudly and yelling at my computer rooting for france (an absurd enough occurrence on its own).

This is how awesome badminton is. Also, the crowd reactions are absolutely amazing

Ice hockey is the only hockey that matters, a true man's sport.

I know it's played on grass in high school, but I'm not so sure about collegiate level hockey. I watched some of the tournament and they seemed pretty intense about the whole thing

They should switch field hockey with lacrosse or rugby.

lacrosse is a fucking great sport, but it's pretty much confined to one region of one country

nobody outside of the east coast of the US plays it

Pfft, if they can justify basketball being an olympic sport, they can stretch it to lacrosse.
>> fashion diva !3wJfpCMhKc

everyone plays basketball nowadays
I feel like the europeans like it more than americans do

I certainly don't give a fuck about basketball outside of the playoffs or the olympics. And the Chinese clearly like Kobe more than we do (even though I think he's the bee's knees)

chinese chick won
it was a fucking great match

The talent pool is clearly monopolized in favour of the US, though. If a team can play as though they're drunk and still get a podium finish, that sets off my eyebrow-raising alarm.

The Zheng Jie match? That thing looked fucking brutal. I think match time was nearing 3 hours in hot and humid weather. Both were slipping behind the shade between points and needed cooling towels between games. Got a little nervous towards the end, as neither could hold serve.

well, we definitely have all of the best black people

You realize the most popular Basketball clubs in Europe get the same average attendance as MLS clubs do, right? Basketball's as big in Europe as Soccer is in the US.

Taekwondo is the worst. There's a reason it is never used in MMA, it's a self defense joke.

If we're going to count winter sports, figure skating is by far the worst.

Beach volleyball, because games don't take very long.

Anything else is too boring to watch to completion, except maybe water polo.

"Less racist"?

You mean to the admirable, extremely, extremely low level of racism we have in the US?

I'm about to die laughing here, someone call me an ambulance.

I think we are remarkably progressive, racially.
We have come to grips with, and dealt with to a degree, racist tendencies we have as a nation. We are far from perfect, but we are better than most

while the spanish and the russians chant "monkey" at black athletes (really absurd thing to do) we throw batteries at John Rocker for making racist comments - then we fined him and made him go to sensitivity training for gays and minorities. You can't say a bad word about jews without suffering severely in terms of public opinion. Meanwhile the spanish basketball team takes racist pictures mocking asian eyes. Imagine the backlash if it had been the redeem team. It wouldn't have been pretty

you really should take a hard look at other countries before you are so quick to disparage the US. We are quick aware of and sensitive to our own prejudices. And above all else, we (at least publicly) find them completely unacceptable

also, blacks in the white house or something

Watch ping pong

It's pretty hardcore, even if it's status as a "sport" is questionable
