Frisbee fans worldwide have been ecstatic at the news, but critics have been skeptical of the new addition. They raise questions on how this niche sport could possibly fit into the Olympics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to finally see Ultimate Frisbee receive the recognition it deserves\u201d, said Eric Swartz, dictator of the World Frisbee Association. \u201cFrisbee is a game of strategy, endurance, and skill. We are confident that Ultimate will be a hit at the upcoming Summer Games\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some critics argue that Ultimate Frisbee doesn&#8217;t deserve to stand with the other prestigious sports of the Olympic Games. \u201cI mean, yeah, frisbees are fun to toss around in parks in the summer or something, but that doesn\u2019t warrant it to be an Olympic sport\u201d, says popular sports critic Drady Goeppers. \u201cUltimate doesn&#8217;t even come close to sports like Swim and Track in the summer games\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Others are worried that the addition of the sport sets a dangerous precedent. \u201cWhat&#8217;s next? Bog Snorkeling? Crab Racing? Cheese Rolling? Chess Boxing? Car Curling? Toe Wrestling? Mountain Unicycling?\u201d asks one flabbergasted fan. \u201cI mean, seriously, this is ridiculous\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite all of the opposition, Eric Swartz, along with countless other frisbee enthusiasts, are eagerly waiting for their Olympic debut. \u201cWe\u2019ve been waiting for this moment for years\u201d, claims Hubert Jass, popular Ultimate Frisbee commentator. \u201cWe can&#8217;t wait to show the world what we can do\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only time will tell if Ultimate Frisbee can live up to the high standards of Olympic competition. But one thing is for sure: The world of sports competition, and the 2028 Olympic games just got a whole lot more interesting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(this is SATIRE!
