Please, IOC, Don't Inflict Skateboarding On Us {Fanhouse Olympics Blog}

Jun 11th 2007 2:06PM I'd have to say that this is a very poorly written blog post. It gives no reasons, it just states that the writer is against skateboarding. I guess that's why he writes blogs and not real articles.

Where should I start?

Skateboarding definitely takes athletic talent. It takes skill and dedication, just like any other sport.

The skateboarding lifestyle is in the streets. It belongs in the streets and will stay in the streets no matter if the Olympics include skateboarding or not.

The writer is probably more of a "ball and stick" sport kind of guy, which i respect. But if you think about it, what's one of the first toys you get when you're a baby? A BALL. So you saying that skateboarding is for kids is pointless, support your ideas mr. reporter.

In closing I'd like to say that the author of this blog article got schooled by the dumb druggy skateboarders of the world.

Good game sir, good game.
