You could equally say that the javelin is restricting throwing, and that javeline athletes can only perform in their specific area. Like yeah - no shit. It's a sport. It's like looking at darts and saying "it'd be better if they fired them from a crossbow at 200m". Like okay yeah maybe you'd find that more entertaining but that would be a different sport which you're welcome to go enjoy.
Because more power is required to reach the distances where everything matters more.
I'm not even sure what that means. Why does it "matter more"? Those in the athletic field of shooting have decided that this is best for a recreational shooting competition. Same as every other sport in the Olympics. Go watch something else if it doesn't interest you, doesn't make the sport bad or the athletes less talented.
Uh-huh. Do I really need to explain how one degree of error is a bigger issue at 1000 meters vs 50?
No shit. But if everyone is shooting from the same distance then it's a level playing field so it doesn't matter and it's still a valid competition. There are different skills for different types of weapons and ranges.
When OP is implying my tribe can't shoot I take it as disrespect and I'm compelled to belittle the competition itself in response.
It's a meme about the notoriously gun crazy country coming last in shooting. It's not that deep. And let's not even get into "my tribe" haha
What do you mean? Why is more power in the equipment being used automatically better? Shooting is a test of accuracy. I'm sorry you see sports through such a boring lens but most of us don't. And in any case, that's just your opinion of what you are more entertained by - there's no need to disparage the sport and disrespect the athletes just because you're not personally interested in it.
Wrong colour immigrant
May one shoelace be permanently tighter than the other just enough to be annoying.
I'm not in an appropriate position mentally for a relationship. One day I want to settle down and do the whole wife/kids thing but now's not the time to get into anything.
Like every single olympic sport can only be performed in a very specific and particular set of circumstances. What is this bizarre gatekeeping?
Hahahaha why aren't you in the bloody Olympics then if it's that easy?
I'm more thinking "see, we DO prosecute war crimes, that proves that all that other stuff was fine".
Yeah I'm potentially moving abroad next year and will have to find a home for her, and I'm cautious to give her to certain people for that reason.
I know all cats like to get under your feet but mine is an absolute jedi master at knowing exactly where to be to inconvenience you the most. I don't know how she does it. She just knows exactly where I'm going to go so she can be directly in the way. You'd think she'd learn after being accidentally kicked a few times but nope.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. This quote is JD Vance publicly stating that he knows his grandmother is straight because she wants to suck dicks. That is a WEIRD thing to say.
