The missus and I were having this discussion the other day while watching the Olympics. We are not gymnasts - never have even tried it and would seperate every joint if I did try - and I only watch it in the Olympics, if at all.
But the gist of our discussion was this, "Why/when did men's gymnastics get branded as 'feminine'?" I mean, you watch it and its some tough *** physically demanding stuff. Much more demanding than baseball or basketball - which are considered 'manly'... My wife ran track and cross-country in college and went to a school with a men's gymnastics team and she said they were easily some of the best athletes on campus - and most dated very hot girls.
Just something that crossed my mind - and can't really figure out. Would love to hear some other thoughts - if it can be kept on this side of intellectual. I know that's sometimes asking a lot here.
USA! USA! USA!
