Anyone who grew up in the 1980s had a neck-twisting flashback during the Paris Olympics. They added BREAKING in 2024 to attract younger viewers. It’s too bad the geezers who grew up in the 80s couldn’t reverse age to jump out of their wheelchairs to enjoy the fun.

But here comes the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles! Start humming the John Williams diddy! LA needs our help. They can add one new “sport.” Flag football, cricket, squash, and lacrosse are already on the “new” list.

Cricket and squash? Did we lose a bet to jolly, old England?

Flag football? Did NFL players need something to do for the summer? Break a few bones?

And baseball and softball are promenading back! So, what should LA add? The City of Angels wants older viewers, so we have an idea. If Breaking is a sport, then square dancing can be too! Hey! If Paris can break, LA can Do-Si-Do.
