The video of six-time Olympic medallist Dujardin whipping a horse at least 24 times in a minute is not only a stain on her reputation but puts the future of equestrian sports at the Olympics under the spotlight
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
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?
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.
Animals shouldn’t be part of any sport. Sports are for spoiled fucks anyway
God I hate people

unhinged
I don’t agree that sports are for spoiled fucks, but dressage definitely is. The barrier to entry makes golf look egalitarian.

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.

Canned Lemmy, arrives tainted
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.
