Sport

This evening I was watching a peculiar sports program, mainly because there was nothing interesting on TV. I don't care about college football and tonight wherever I looked that's what was shown.

The program I started watching was the Trampoline and Tumbling World Championship from Daytona Beach Florida. There are a lot of stupid sports going around and this one is right up with the leaders.

They are jumping up and down on trampolines sometimes in pairs and synchronized and that is what they call the sport and that is what is now having a world championship. I can't imagine a little girl telling her parents that she will want to be a famous trampoline jumper when she grows up.

They keep coming up with more and more idiotic sports in recent years. It was so simple back in ancient Greece when they only had running, long jump, discus throw, javelin throw, running, some horse races and wrestling on the Olympic agenda. And they did it in five days!

Now every year they are inventing newer sports and hope to make them Olympic numbers. If rhythmic dancing is an Olympic number why ballroom dancing is not? That takes just as much grace and coordination as any similar sport.

I think finger wagging should be a sport. There are several ways one can wag his or her fingers. I will probably start the US Finger Wagging SC. and look for some sponsors. They will have a chance to dress up the fingers with all their advertisements.

How about drinking? Like in any other sport the winners will be the best man and women at the end who is still standing. Now what's wrong with this? Another thing, just like in any other sport it will be very easy to be a professional in this field. And it is a lot easier to find training areas in any city or town than to find a gym, and it is a lot easier to find good athletes in this field than in any other.

I'll keep thinking to see if I can find some good candidates for new sports for the future. maybe somethings for us older people, like sitting on a chair without moving or something like that.
