Joke sports are games that are poor substitutes for athletic endeavors that bring out the best in human achievement with a underlying purpose to the event. The inclusion of many joke sports in the 2012 Summer Olympics detracts from the serious events. During those games, atheistic Great Britain won three golds in the joke sports; the United States won ten joke sport gold medals.
Examples of joke sports include:
- Badminton
- Beach Volleyball
- BMX Cycling
- Dressage
- Rhythmic Gymnastics
- Synchronized Swimming
- Swimming relays[1]
- Backstroke races[2]
- Swimming medleys[3]
- Table Tennis
- Taekwondo
- Women's Boxing and Wrestling
Comments
- ↑ In running relays, there is a baton that must be artfully passed during the race. No such baton passing exists for the silly swimming relays. Would anyone want a long jump or pole vault "relay"???
- ↑ An inefficient, silly stroke comparable to foot races for hopping or running backwards.
- ↑ It is hard even to imagine how preposterous a land-based equivalent of this might look. Yet swimmers award and receive gold medals for them without raising a single eyebrow.
