    True but I have a better chance of being a professional video game hockey player than actually making it to the NHL.
    So that would mean that there are more professsional video game hockey players, than Players in the NHL. I don't thin this is true.

    It is very hard to become a person earning ones life by playing video games.

    Skateboarding
    Sport climbing
    Surfing


    I'm not 100% convinced these should be Olympic sports anymore than Yoga. However, as an older guy I'm trying to keep an open mind about it.
    @mchill Agreed.

    It wasn't rhetorical - it was a real question. "Are the Summer Olympics improved by adding surfing as a medal event?" Maybe yes - I can accept that.

    I did not include karate because that seems an easier question. I would watch that.

    I tried to watch the skateboarding - it looked liked the kids at the local skate park. I mean I am sure they were trying harder tricks (how would I know?) - but it was very hit and miss just like the kids around here in Wisconsin.

    Watching the softball and soccer, swimming and gymnastics , diving and volleyball, I never once thought - that looks like the kids I see at the local park...

    Tend to agree with you, how these sports are included and not cricket is beyond me, any sport in which a judge decides who wins can't be good. Boxing is another, why did they move from points for punches landed to judges?

    These Olympics suck anyway, no fans and on during the night here, not the same.

    Been watching the beach volleyball and already there is a wrist injury.
    Hopefully I'll be ok by the weekend.
