Summer Olympics are super boring. I understand the events stretching back from ancient times based in the military. How fast can you run? How far can you run? How far can you throw this spear/chained cannonball/hard clay spinnyrock? Swimming, jumping, all of it. But lets be honest its a terribly boring spectator experience for the average person. Soccer is cool, though.

By comparison, the winter games are bat-#### crazy. Lets strap razor blades to our feet and throw girls up in the air while flying around the ice at high speed to music? Lets armor up some of the best athletes in the world and send them out to kill each other over a rubber disc. Lets lie some poor bastards down on metal frame with blades on it and send them head-first down the side of a mountain in a frozen water-slide.

So breakdancing I think will be good for the summer games. Outside of the soccer tourney I might have a reason to watch. But if breakdancing is in, then I have no idea why Gridiron and marching drum corps are not.
