   Seeing old white men pissed off about breakdancing in the Olympics is expected. It’s head scratching to them that there’s a world outside of baseball and gridiron football. They didn’t watch the Olympics because France shit on Jesus or something, something, illegals, they’re not racist.

     @LittleTokyo IDk, I love the Olympics because of all the fringe sports, and I’m not sold on breaking. I think it’s really reductive to boil it down to racism or whatever.

     @friendlybook I’m not simply boiling it down to it being racist, I’m just being an asshole buttttt! It was excellent and it’s time to expand the Olympics in small but significant ways because entire generations simply don’t give a fuck. Next up, gaming & cricket! :)

     It’s happening, a version of at least. We’ll see, honestly it’s a more orgaznized professionally speaking than Breaking who had to work through ball room dancing organizations to make this entry official.

     @LittleTokyo Fully OK with them having a separate competition series under the Olympic banner. Just don’t make it part of the Summer or Winter Games.
