Quadrennial Athletic Marketing Extravaganza Fail 0

If you wonder why I’ve given up on the Olympics (and most other endeavors of the Athletic Industrial Complex except baseball), look no further than this item in Bob Molinaro’s always excellent column in my local rag.

While wrestling and baseball are trying to fight their way back into the Summer Games, pole dancing is making a bid to join the Olympic movement. Speaking of movement, what’s now being called “pole sports” includes a rule that prohibits women competitors from dancing “in an overly erotic manner.” And I suppose fans will be prohibited from bringing $1 bills to the competition.

Afterthought:

Who defines “overly erotic,” Miss Grundy or Miss October?

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
