Man drone racing is so dope. That's gonna be bigger than NASCAR in a decade. I'm legit discussing getting into it right now with a cinematographer I know who films with drones.

No, curling must remain reigning champion of the least athletic and pointless Olympic event.

(I do like watching it, but wtf is it in the Olympics for?)

I'd be OK with this if they put a stop to trash talking. It doesn't have a place in a global sporting event imo.

Several existing Olympic events, such as pistol shooting and archery, contain little physical exertion and are almost entirely based on hand eye coordination.

I learned a lot from watching pro Heroes of the Storm matches. Made me see a lot of the mistakes I was making

I don't play hots anymore though so I don't watch that, and I never watch any Overwatch stuff
