How is it that baseball and softball are being removed from the olympics, while something so utterly gratuitous as "synchronized diving" remains? If you can make a competition out of two people diving at the same time, why stop there? What about synchronized pole vaulting, or synchronized hurdles?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the athletes here. Like I said, they are fair more athletic and committed than I'll ever be; I just find it an odd sport. But I was reading a blog on yahoo sports (I'd like to point out is the first time I've read it - I rarely aimlessly surf the internet - I do have a life) and I found the above quote. I thought it interesting considering I just blogged about it myself. So there, I'm ahead of the curve. Or something like that. Anyways, back to my aforementioned life. :)
