On that note, it’s bizarre that skateboarding is now an Olympic sport.
Why not just go all in then?
Hoola hoops? Sure.
Handstands? Yup.

@Obscurequokka I was with you until skateboarding. Have you seen it? If it's not a legitimate sport, I don't know what is. Seems on par with any gymnastics, diving or skating — anywhere you have a bench of judges giving marks.

@Obscurequokka are, so your position is even more radical :-) Okay, that's fair. I, for one, think that whenever people can more or less reliably compare who's personally better in some kind of activity, it's certainly a sport.
