Chess In The Olympic Games?

there have been some very strange olympic events in the past....Indian Clubs and motorboat racing, for example. Why not chess? Twirling streamers in the air are an olympic event, for God's sake.

Because chess is not a RACE! The Olympics should be about RACES!

If chess is not a sport it must be a game.

Oh hang on... its the Olympic Games.

The Olympics were originally things like, running, throwing balls through vertical hoops, killing lions with rocks and sticks...

Let's be real men and bring the REAL sports back into play.

Chess players would never pass the drug tests. None of them would be steady enough to piss in a bottle.

all sports involve your body and mind in different percentages. chess is mostly the mind.
