The Olympics include all kinds of interesting sports these days, but I thought this morning that they are mostly rather human orientated: we need to get more animals involved, to get away from our fixation with humans. So I offer a few suggestions.
Coarse fishing. Once, perhaps still, one of the most popular participation sports.
Game fishing, to provide a bit of class balance to the proletarian coarse fishing.
Horse racing. Another popular sport in many countries. One might argue that the result depends more on the horse than the rider, but we already have the obscure & elitist dressage, a sport to which exactly the same argument applies, so why not the far more popular horse racing?
And while we on obscure & elitist, what about a spot of grouse shooting? Or fox hunting?
PS: and if pole dancing is in, what about cage fighting?
