Why isn't bog snorkeling an Olympic event?

[purplepoppy]

This weekend saw The World Bog Snorkelling Championships take place but it got very little coverage outside of Wales. For some strange reason it never made international news like say the football World Cup would.

Now I reckon there must be lots of sports that tend to be fairly localised and don't travel well. Cricket is virtually unheard of in America and baseball isn't really played anywhere outside of the states.

So why are some sports easier to export than others and do you have any that outsiders might consider odd?

Baseball is pretty big in Latin America, Korea, and Japan. The season is shorter and international signings are less, but it's pretty big in those places. Japan is probably only slightly below MLB in skill level, and a lot of failing MLB players go there to polish their skills before returning to the US.

Why does that sound like a real awful term for cunnilingus

[Andres77]

I used to call it “spelunking”.

[Opinion Owner]

Lmao

[Andres77]

That was with the really hairy wife. This wife is shaved and squirts so I go “tongue surfing”

[NYCQuestions1976]

I like to say "busting a munch on some succulent meat curtains". 😂

It probably isn't very... eventful.

Here in the state of Missouri, we have mule nugget tossing contests (lumps of manure about 8 to 10cm). I've only seen it in photos in the newspaper. I don't know if other states have them. I'm not sure if they toss for distance or accuracy.

Maybe Paris should add it to the list. It's got to be more entertaining than some of the events n the Olympics. Of course, you'd have to watch out for the Russian judge who gives out scores so that Russian athletes win.

They have included a few activities that have no business being in the Olympics already so why not bog snorkeling. Nobody watches the Olympics anymore anyway.

Maybe it could be made a triathlon with shin kicking and cheese rolling.

[Iron_Man]

Not sure haha…. How come WWE isn’t part of the Olympics? Lol

Lost out to synchronized swimming.
There's always next time.

[NYCQuestions1976]

For the same reason (s) that toilet snorkeling isn't an Olympic sport.

[Breanna_nonbinary]

That was uncalled for. After all equestrian is an Olympic event

[NYCQuestions1976]

@Breanna_nonbinary Ouch! 😂

[Texaskid1]

Unless it's a giant toilet.

[KostasKouvalis]

Because the Olympics don't include sports that only one country dominates in

[CuriousMufuxka]

I believe you answered the question in your description.. I have no opinion otherwise.

[Zolly99999]

Never heard of it.. it looks gross too lol

[Breanna_nonbinary]

Baseball is an Olympic sport.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Usually yes, but not always for some reason.

[ArtemisSilver]

Sounds like something Shrek would complete in.

[zagor]

So how do you win? By NOT participating?

[Fuentes]

Looks like a nasty thing to do

[Wise4myage]

Too many dead bodies in those bogs, lol.

[TotallyAlmost]

Always the best questions.
