THIS is outrageous. The queer-enabling Olympic Committee is threatening to sue a group of Godly Christians over NOTHING! The boys just want to have a little good old American fun. What's the harm in that? 
Redneck Olympics Threatened by Real Olympics For Using Word ‘Olympics’
For those of you who haven’t yet heard about the glorious American sporting event “The Redneck Olympics” here’s a quick rundown.
About 2,600 sunburned, beer-bellied New Englanders gather each summer in Hebron, Maine and compete in various hillbilly competitions such as wife-carrying, beer-swilling, bobbing for pigs’ feet, toilet-seat horseshoes, lawn mower races, mud running and pie-eating.
These festivities and the Summer Redneck Games (which are essentially the same thing, but in Georgia) are small, hilarious, slightly-less-than-wholesome celebrations of white trash culture.
While I’m not usually bursting with pride over this particular sect of American culture, a recent conflict between rednecks and the real Olympics, the behemoth of world class athleticism, has me taking their side.
According to Daily Mail, the U.S. Olympic Committee is aware of the Redneck Olympics and this week threatened to sue the organizers if they don’t stop using the word “Olympics.”
Maine Redneck organizer Harold Brooks remarked to the Sun Journal, “I said, ‘I’m not basing it on your Olympics; I’m basing it on the Olympics in Greece.’”
He continued, “I understand we can’t use the word ‘Pepsi,’ but we can use the word ‘soda.’ The Olympics has been around for thousands of years.”
Apparently the Olympic Committee is afraid that by allowing rednecks to use the “O” word they’ll be diluting the brand and thus robbing their athletes of the status they deserve for their life’s work.
The redneck Olympics attract 2,600 people, while the Olympics Olympics attract up to 4.7 billion viewers worldwide. The latter calls upon world-class athletes to perform feats of strength, agility and grace, while the former calls upon world-class assholes to do belly-flops in mud puddles.
The Redneck Olympics have as much in common with the real Olympics as Facebook has with real books. (As a side note, it’s pretty ridiculous that Facebook is currently trying to copyright the word “book.”)
The Redneck Olympics aren’t a threat to anyone other than the animals on local pig farms and the rednecks themselves, who wear confederate flag bikinis in the blazing heat while refusing to use sunscreen.
If the Olympics can celebrate ancient Greek culture, why can’t the Redneck Olympics celebrate modern American culture?
