They should come out of the closet and practice diving instead.

Well they will have to now :(

Seriously though why is diving gay?  Swimming isn't.  Weird.

Meh, on one hand it's a tradition, but on the other, with the changing social mores, do closeted gay men really have to resort to aggressive cuddling in public to get their groove on?

I'd be okay if they replaced it with turkish oil wrestling.

If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

Not that weird.  Figure skating is gay and hockey is not gay.  Any sport where the object is to look pretty is bound to attract gays.

One of the cool things about wrestling at the international level is the geographic dispersion. 

How can you not root for a sport practiced by Americans, Turks, Central Asians, Iranians, and Russians?

So many terrible sports they could have axed instead.

Okay? :unsure:

I have to admit - I'm much more likely to watch olympic golf than I am olympic wrestling.

And I don't even like golf.

The Winter Olympics can't drop any sports, filling up 3 weekends of TV is priority #1.

Snowball fort construction is better than using a broom.

I'm better with broomball than I am with some of those ski flipping events.

Never!

Apparently curling gets very good tv ratings during the olympics.   :cool:

It's a shame I'm stuck on a bad team this year.  We've only won one game all year. :(

Can't build a snow fort if we can keep having Winter Olympics in cities where it barely fucking snows.

Wrestling just needs to adopt more TV-friendly attitudes to get the IOC to love it again.  Maybe if the Undertaker were somehow involved?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Curling can stay on as long as Stella Heiß still plays for Germany.
