And alienate the gay audience?

I hope not! That would be extremely homophobic. I cannot think of any other gay sports that are on this list.

What about track and field? Didn't Caitlyn Jenner downplay the reputation?

I'm excited about the tug of war. We might see an arm get torn off on national television.

Those two German kids who died at scouting camp from fucking tug of war. That was so depressing.

The Asian guys who got their arms pulled off made me chuckle a little. They got reattached at least.

It seems like kids should just not play this game. Did the parents sue, do you think?
