Big game hunting and winter survival should be added as Winter Olympic sports

I do agree with big game hunting [as an Olympic sport], that would rock dudes. It's like you go out in the wilderness and then you just have to weigh like, how much bear did you come back with? The Olympic sport of just watching dudes in the middle of the woods who can start a fire faster. I'd watch that.

This is a satirical suggestion for sports entertainment.

The skeleton is a joke of a sport that anyone could do with three years of training

The skeleton is a joke. [Max: I think that's actually like proven fact that the average amount of person to take, they have three years experience.] When I watch the Best Loser win by a fraction of a second, I'm like, well that guy just decided to do luge. 99.9% of the world just doesn't do luge.

The difficulty and skill required for Olympic-level sliding sports are objectively high, though his point about participation rates is a standard comedic trope.

The Pacific Time Zone is the worst time zone for sports

I hate Pacific Time zone. It sucks. Everything's just two nights in a row. ... I've pulled up like we have long days and I, I like, I'll pull up the Cubs game being like, I'm gonna watch the Cubs game in my hotel room. And they're just like, oh, they're down eight. Nothing. It's the eighth inning.

Inherently subjective preference.

Having Rafael Nadal carry the Olympic torch in Paris was 'cucked' behavior by France

Maybe the most cucked behavior that I've ever seen to have one of your country's rivals [Rafael Nadal] as like a prominent figure at the very end. I guess because he is like, always wins the French Open. He just wins the French Open... He is kind of like part of French history.

This is a subjective value judgment on the optics of the ceremony.

World Chase Tag is ten times better than Olympic handball.

This sport, this tag sport [World Chase Tag], is ten times the sport of handball. Ten times.

This is a subjective comparison of two different sports.

I will beat PFT Commenter in ping pong by at least nine points in every game of our series

I'm better than [PFT Commenter] when I'm wearing glass and he's not... I'm going to be going to beat you by nine points... nine wait in how many games? Each game. I will be home by 9:00 all games.

The results of these office ping pong matches are documented on 'Stool Streams'; Hank rarely wins this dominantly over PFT.

Rolling a 200 with two light beers and smokers around in a bowling alley is harder than rolling a 300 sober.

I would also say that rolling a 200 if you've had two light beers and you're around a bunch of people smoking cigarettes in a bowling alley is harder than rolling a 300 sober.

The difficulty of specific bowling conditions vs. literal perfection is a matter of personal opinion.

Michael Phelps will come out of retirement to swim in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

Michael Phelps, Tokyo. He's swimming, right? Yes. Oh, there we go. You know what? I've said this before in 2012. I said he announced his retirement. He wasn't going to come back. And I was like, you're going to come back. Come on. And guess what he did? He came back. Same thing. He's going to do it.

Michael Phelps did not come out of retirement for the Tokyo 2020 (held in 2021) Olympics.

Cleveland is the 'new Boston' full of pink-hat bandwagon fans

Population of Cleveland, 390,000. So, you know what that tells me? That tells me that Cleveland is like the new Boston Red Sox. Pink hat wearers. Bandwagoners. Bandwagon fans. Cleveland's the new it town to go to. ... I'm done with Cleveland.

The claim that most fans were bandwagoners is a subjective insult used for comedic effect.

Athletes should take more PEDs because fans want to see more power and scoring

I say please take more PEDs. Why not? We want athletes to actually crank the ball out. Who wants a 1-0 game? I don't. So our stance on that is use it, don't abuse it.

This is an ethical and aesthetic opinion about sports entertainment.
