Eh, painting and chess used to be Olympic sports. Shooting/air rifle still is. Break dancing requires more physicality than all of those.
I don’t particularly care about gatekeeping what activities are added/subtracted to the Olympics, as long as it’s competitive and entertaining to watch.
Nothing, that’s what I’m trying to say. All the “sports” I listed have some sort of skill expression that can be judged. Why is break dancing less worthy? Should skateboarding also not have been included? Why is making a horse hop around to music considered a “real sport”?
It exemplifies everything wrong with the modern corrupt Olympics committee.
Pandering to whoever can bribe them the most and threatening those who won’t cosy up to them, even long established sports that have been in the Olympics since the Greeks.
What pisses me off is the break dancing is considered an Olympic sport.

It’s all arbitrary.
Why do you care?
