The world’s best target shooters under a very specific and particular set of circumstances, usually indoors. It’s like you’re trying to insult me for not being impressed at the driving skills of the world’s best indoor go-kart racers.

Like every single olympic sport can only be performed in a very specific and particular set of circumstances. What is this bizarre gatekeeping?

It’s like if they wanted to have motorsports in the Olympics but they only did go-karts and 49cc motorcycles. The people who show up to compete will be talented, but they aren’t driving F1 or MotoGP.

What do you mean? Why is more power in the equipment being used automatically better? Shooting is a test of accuracy. I’m sorry you see sports through such a boring lens but most of us don’t. And in any case, that’s just your opinion of what you are more entertained by - there’s no need to disparage the sport and disrespect the athletes just because you’re not personally interested in it.

No, I’m trying to suggest that if you don’t like it, don’t watch it. What’s the point in telling everyone why Olympic athletes don’t impress you?

I didn’t watch it, but I did run across some bullshit on the Internet implying that the Chinese dominating ping pong somehow means the US can’t compete at Tennis.

And because of that you decide to dunk on a bunch of athletes?
