The only way I'll get over it is to laugh about it, I suppose :roll:
jwhouk:
I believe Chess will be a sport in the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Along with Rugby Sevens.
But no wrestling. :? :? :?
Method of Madness:
...chess? Why chess? And for that matter, why is it a summer sport? Isn't it usually played indoors? Also...is it a sport?
mustang6172:
Chess would be a summer sport because it isn't played on snow or ice.
Basketball is traditionally an indoor winter sport, but its part of the Summer Olympics because it's not played on a frozen surface. The NBA has no problem sending athletes to the Olympics because it's their off season.
Fun fact: basketball was invented so people would have something to play indoors, when the weather was too crappy to go outside.
