      Nothing, that’s what I’m trying to say. All the “sports” I listed have some sort of skill expression that can be judged. Why is break dancing less worthy? Should skateboarding also not have been included? Why is making a horse hop around to music considered a “real sport”?

      It’s all arbitrary.

      With the amount of physical activity needed, it can hardly be seen as a sport, let alone an Olympic one.
