Well, maybe not shooting. Doesn't take a whole lot of physical fitness for that one.

But, I'm not sure about motorsports in the olympics. I mean, what if they used NASCAR?? It's bad enough that they have friggin trampolines. If I turned on the olympics in four years and saw Jeff Gordon or whoever on a podium, I'd probably never watch another one. Just what we need is a bunch of rednecks throwing Busch cans all over a foreign country.
