That would be a fantastic spectator sport. They could follow it with dogs catching javelins.

Word on the street is that it's gaining recognition by the IOC as a sport for future consideration, same as sports like Baseball.
Apparently it's a little too late to get the paperwork ready for Rio but the WFDF are hopeful to have demonstration games by the following Olympics, wherever that may be.

Hahahaha that shit's priceless
“Through the grapevine,” he explained, “we heard that the IOC loved the sport and thought the self-officiation was an incredibly cool component and thought, ‘Wow, this is sportsmanship at its best. This is what the Olympics is all about'

He sounds like such a dude. A proper, fully fledged fuckwit of a dude.

It's not even a proper website, it's just some guy's fucking blog.
