Hillbillies don't watch the Olympics.
Like, sure, we need to move the fencing to a chariot race, and make jousting and full contact gladiatorial combat a thing. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
Then we'll get the hicks watching. Just dont call it SCA as that's a nerd thing.
My old buddy Mike had a rebel flag painted on the front of his house, American and rebel flag flying side by side, a can of Busch Light in his hand at all times, house littered with little hand carved wood spirits, and anything hillbilly that you could imagine.
He watched the Olympics religiously. He wouldn’t miss it for anything.
He wasn’t racist though, he just wasn’t that bright. I mean, he was and he wasn’t. He honestly just liked the imagery I think and he was old. He had civil war stuff laying around too, both sides. Little figurines and things.
Sounds like a poorly thought out attempt to show a love for history. I knew a man that was similar, not the brightest, said terms he shouldn't have, weirdly non malicious it was just how he was raised, man was born during the depression.
Bring back motorcycle chariot racing as a sport!
Fuck yeah. How many bikes per chariot? Initially I imagined two but now I'm thinking six.
The Olympics are broadcast on regular old antenna tv channels. They definitely watch it.
