This is dope. I love lacrosse and I love America. So if lacrosse gets added to the Olympics, I will be in fucking heaven for two straight weeks.
The Olympics are awesome, but there are so many dumb sports that were included before lacrosse. I mean, come on… lacrosse is the oldest sport in America. It shouldn’t have taken this long for the IOC to consider it.
Here is a list of summer Olympic events that lacrosse is better than:
- Canoe Slalom
- Canoe Sprint
- Road Cycling
- Track Cycling
- Equestrian / Dressage
- Equestrian Eventing
- Equestrian Jumping
- THREE separate equestrian events? You have to be kidding me.
- Fencing
- Rhythmic Gymnastics
- Handball
- Marathon Swimming
- Rowing
- Sailing
- Table Tennis
- Regular Tennis
- Trampoline Jumping
- Volleyball (men’s)
- Water Polo
Welp, here’s to hoping that the fastest game on two feet gets added to the Olympics.
I also don’t know if I mentioned this, but it is confirmed that lacrosse players make the best lovers. Just saying…
