...because they didn't write it, and they could do a lot better.
If you are one of the approximately four people on the web who hasn't seen Strongbad Email, go check it out - it's stooooopid funny. For everyone else:
(email) "Dear Strongbad, could you invent a craaazy sport? Sincerely, Kevin"
(sb) Look Kevin, all the sports that can be invented have been invented. They've been at it for millions, or even dozens of years. Now all you can do is to mix up the existing sports, like a "sports casserole", if you will.
But if I were to make a sport... I would make the athletes run for a while, and go swimming, and ride bikes for many miles, and go shoot at things. Oh, and maybe have them swordfight or something. That sounds pretty crazy to me.
(strongsad) They already have that, you doofus! It's called a Pentathlon.
(sb) What?!? You're kidding?
(ss) No. Look at the TV. It's in the Olympics.
(sb) Oh man!!
I give up, Kevin. Those sport inventor guys are way crazier than you or I could ever be.
Olympically yours,
Strongbad
