I always thought there should be an "unlimited class" in the olympics where you can take anything you want. I want to see wildly drugged up athletes competing with each other.

Caaaaaarl, that kills people.

Don't worry, you can still be buried with the medal if you win

That’s just the regular Olympics.

"And now the athletes are at the starting line for the hundred meter ketamine stagger. . . They're waiting for the starters' gun. . . Some of them have got confused and wandered off. . ."

"Oh, it looks Swerving Dan had a heart attack when the starting pistol went off!

That's going to hurt his chances, Jim."

According to D'Souza, he created the Games because he believes that athletes are entitled to do what they wish with their own bodies

If that's been agreed upon as the ruleset for their competitions, I agree

and that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is corrupt and not paying them enough.

Also agree, it's the individual countries that usually pay their athletes to athlete and uh... Yeah, they get sponsors for a reason, don't they. I know a few people who've competed at several olympic games and just being top 10 or something in the world in your sport doesn't exactly get you swimming in money.

I always thought professional sports games don't have enough good ol' gladiatorial bloodshed. If youre getting paid tens of millions per year for sports you damn well better be doing more than moving an object around.

Look, all im saying is any sports game can be made more watchable by giving players a side-armed melee wepon and allowed one swing per play iteration with no redcards. Put back in some selective pressure to turn those middle aged pudgy players and coaches into real athletes and tacticians.
