My Break Dancing Career-Right Down the Tubes

I failed to make the U.S. Olympic Break Dancing team. Actually, I didn't make it to the Northwestern Connecticut Senior Olympic Break Dancing Finals. So maybe it's just sour grapes.

Really, Break Dancing in the Olympics? The same gold medal the winner of the 100 meter dash or the 1500 meter freestyle gets? Does the Russian Breakdancing Judge cheat just like in diving and gymnastics? And what Performance Enhancing Drugs will the Russians develop for Breakdancing? How about Gyrate-O-Droxanderone, a steroid that will allow performers to spin on their heads for minutes at a time without getting dizzy?

I've come to realize that the Olympics is a TV show, and the criteria for a sport being accepted is: will people watch it so TV networks can sell ads?

As a wiser man than I once said, "The answer to all your questions is Money."

​What's next? I saw a bumpersticker: Put Bowling in The Olympics. I'm reluctant to stereotype people, but the driver looked like a bowler.

Okay. How about some feedback? Send in suggestions for the next less than classical sport to go into the Olympics grab bag to:
