Olympic sports too brutal to watch

What the Hell is Handball? unwatchable

Love watching team handball. Fast paced and lots of action. It is, without question, the most fun team sport I have ever played.

I agree with you on this one. I never heard of it until playing intermural at App and it quickly became on of my favorite sports. It is a blast to play.

We played handball in PE during HS quite a bit, it was among our favorites as kids.

People that bike enjoy committing what is and it’s a quality sport.

I’m not trying to be the best at exercising.

Well I can't say I still have an arm like a rocket. Maybe if I took some roids. I suppose if I do have a weakness then its my tireless work ethic. as well as your sarcasm toward me. lol

How on earth do you have a legit event where you are given a random horse to ride (and do stunts with) but said horse refuses to cooperate? This is an Olympic event?

Apparently a number of people in the US have found the Olympics too brutal to watch this year. Viewership is down 40% + from Rio overall. Some due to streaming, some due to time differences, some due to people just not caring for one reason or another.

This is brutal. They are trying to kill the Olympics and that's ok but why such a slow death. Just get it over.

Every host country gets to add some events. I agree that breakdancing seems a bit odd having Japan be the host is likely the reason for baseball being in the Games for the first time since 2008. First not exhibition baseball medals were given in 1992.

Truthfully, breakdancing is likely more international than baseball, but it seems to be of a cultural event than athletics, though it is athletic.
