I’ll start watching sports when there’s coked up cyborgs competing for who can stave off graft rejection for long enough to cross the finish line, thank you very much
I’ve always like the idea that the Olympic events should have one “normal” person do them, at least for ones where that is plausible and makes sense (like racing events, maybe not stuff like the giant slalom or the ski jump)
Like, if you had a 9th swim lane and put a guy who swims 3 days a week in there for fitness, I guarantee he’d get completely smashed in a way that would really illustrate how much faster the Olympians are.

They pick me
Me: intentionally loses to go home early
This would be one of my favorite shows.
I’ve always wanted a normal person to take part alongside the pros.
Right?? Give ya some sort of scale
Dave might kill it, you don’t know!
What about Olympics without drug restrictions? Like, how much can we improve on the human body?
SNL had a skit on that “The All-Drug Olympics”
Athletes already put a lot of stress on their bodies as it is, a druglympic would end up with a lot of sick or dead people
We’ve already got the Tour de France, so that’s one sport down.

/s but not really
Don’t we already kind of have this? Can’t people have done the drugs as long as they test clean at the event?
It sounds like military service with cameras 😆
I want this
This is what it used to be like not so long ago. The 1928 weightlifting champion was a butcher.

Paywall?
Cut to 100 years later and you have litetal hunger games.
That’s basically what Takeshi’s Castle is. :)
Hah. I don’t attend meetings I am supposed to be in, good luck with this.
Come to Canada, we already have it! https://ground.news/article/olympics-for-regular-people-good-games-come-to-university-of-guelph
In Russia the Olympics play you

You’d have to pay that poor bastard though, most people won’t want to look a fool on live tv for nothing.
I’ll do it for free if all expenses are paid for me to go to the Olympics. I look like a fool every day, one more day won’t make a difference.
Did you mispell your name? This is clearly a malicious black ajah proposal.
I like the nuance of not having a total noob, but instead a amatausiast!
So… Hunger games kind of thing?
Edit: but less murdery, I suppose.
why less murdery?
I just laughed our loud! Hahahah thank you for that
Right, give me a javelin and tell me that I can’t throw it into the crowd, see what I do.
that makes it exciting for the spectators too
I volunteer as tribute
And I, my Bunny Bracelet.
