La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for September 15, 2024

There’s break-dancing, and there’s dancing as if you’re broken.

Once was enough. It will not be in the 2028 Olympics…

Actually, once was probably too much.

And they wanted to end wrestling as an Olympic event….sigh…

She has been declared #1 female break dancer by the World Breakdancing Commission. For real. Think about it, who were the medal winners? You can’t think of one, she is the face of breakdancing which means MONEY which means she is #1.

Channeling her inner Pee Wee Herman?

..looked like a Kangaroo to me..

I think the poor woman has received enough ridicule.

I watched the Olympic Breaking. It’s very athletic and artistic. But judging is weird. Not a fan of all the people haven’t watched but scoff. It’s a complicated skill. So also are other sports and dance.

The motto of the Olympics is citius altius fortius (faster, higher, stronger) and refers to qualities or abilities that can be accurately and objectively measured. Nothing that depends on subjective opinions by judges using their personal likes and dislikes should ever qualify as a sport at all, let alone an Olympic one.

How long will Lalo beat this kangaroo?

I’ve always thought that breakdancers would do great on the pommel horse.
