Here in the real world
Can this guy hunt and fish too?
Instead of the Olympic Games, why don’t we just replace them with the Wii games?
It would be cheaper and safer.
That’s the same logic used last week when it was announced that air pistols would be replaced by laser guns in the modern pentathlon in the 2012 Olympics.
Now, they can have such events even in shopping malls, officials announced.
I never thought Chuck E Cheese could be an Olympic venue. What’s next? Mall walking as an Olympic sport?
Less expensive I can buy, but are they really worried about safety? Has anyone ever been shot in a pentathlon except for maybe in a James Bond movie?
A bobsledder died in this year’s Winter Olympics yet no one has suggested that real bobsledders be replaced by the Super Mario Brothers.
That’s because bobsledders don’t shoot pistols. It’s another example of political correctness run amok.
I’m glad I live in Oklahoma where people still live in the real world.
Excuse me, but dove season opens Wednesday and I have to get ready. I have to make sure my Nintendo is working.

Shooting sports send the wrong message at the Olympics, where we are trying to unite the world in peace and harmony. In fact, why does there have to be winners AND losers? Like Bobby Hill’s old soccer coach said, let’s end it in a tie and everybody can be a winner!
Wow JimBob what a bleeding heart liberal, you from California…..maybe San Fransico? The Olympics were designed to measure the overall talents of WARRIORS. They measured the ability of fighting men from different armies. I think it’s ridiculous that we are reducing the shooting sports in the Olympics. I agree with Ed, come on IOC man up, if we are going to add rythmic ribbon dancing and eliminate shooting, then it’s time I quit watching!!!
Good job, Ed. Wish I was dove hunting with you!
