Animals shouldn't be part of any sport. Sports are for spoiled fucks anyway
God I hate people
Animals shouldn't be part of any sport.
cool
Sports are for spoiled fucks anyway
unhinged
I don't agree that sports are for spoiled fucks, but dressage definitely is. The barrier to entry makes golf look egalitarian.
The barrier to entry
to be fair, this barrier mostly comes from the necessity to involve a horse in the routine, so if the olympics starts allowing pantomime horses as a replacement we're in business
You mean a dude following someone around with a coconut?
I'm not sure what I expected, but this is better.
I would actually watch dressage if it only had pantomime horses.
Or other animals. I don't see why you can't bring any animal you want to the animal dance. Yeah sure like maybe an alligator won't make a very good dancer, but why would somebody bring a partner that has no chance of winning?

Art, sports, leisure, entertainment all need to be banned. They distract the worker from his task of serving the people.
It's amazing that people seem to be taking this comment literally
Always hard to tell if they don't know it's a joke or they just find the joke unfunny. I've had much worse lately.

Eh, I don't agree. Sports are a good way for people to get exercise and recreation time in, which are vital for mental and physical health. There are definitely ways to incorporate animals into sports that the animals enjoy and is also good for their mental and physical well-being. We just need to collectively stop being shitty stewards of our animal companions.
Sports for fun cool
Sports for money awful
