Paris Olympics 2024

For me shooting is a sport because it shows proficiency of the body : to aim, to breath, to control all your muscles etc to be the best shooter.

while chess is a mind game. Obviously you need to focus and control yourself etc but it’s not a real « Olympic » sports for me

chess is much more of a sports than dancing

you can cry me a river on how dancing is a physical performance and whatnot but at the end of the day that's not a sports by any means

hence if dancing can be added so should be chess

I'm not a religious person and I could care less about those people who love to do drags, but when you do stuff like this, it's just fucking dumb and also disrespectful.

These are the same people that keep wondering why people hate them, yeah I do wonder why.

They would hate them regardless so really the feeling is mutual .........
imo religious folks expecting non religious people to respect their religion is rich and in some ways utterly delusional.

why do you think its a bad take
tolerance is very different from respect .

Yeah, at least in chess the winner is decided purely on skill while in dancing (which is an performance art) a lot of the grading will go into the art and emotion put into the dance - making it purely subjective for the judges to grade

Emotion and art of the performance?
Don't really follow it whenever it's on

come to the politics section if you wanna discuss this

 

[NikaInParis]

Dman, Japan really bottling a six goal lead vs Croatia
WC 22 flashbacks when they fumbled the penalties sooooo hard

its def part of it
its very subjectively scored
but it has historically been part of the olympics.

 

[Kumathegoat]

Just like artistic gymnastics and synchronized swimming

That's the thing I have issue with - performance arts being elevated to Olympic sport status while legit martial arts get left out

 

[Kumathegoat]

We need more martial arts and chess in the olympics

If we're being honest neither should be in the Olympics.

MMA👀
Too bloody, I know

 

[Kumathegoat]

Boxing can be quite bloody too

 

[NikaInParis]

Oh I agree, but one of them at least is undeniably more transparent in the way matches are decided

 

[Bullet]

Is there any plan to add MMA?

 

[K!NG HARA$H!MA]

Why people still thinks Macron's wife is trans?
