Can we also disqualify the person who made that website have a hovering video that can’t be removed on mobile?
That’s where the real whipping belongs 🤭
No such issue using Firefox + U-block Origin.
I am using Firefox mobile with U-block Origin.
Then you have it configured wrong.
If you’re on iOS, every browser is basically a reskinned Safari. They all have to use WebKit
I’m on Android though
Got it. Wasn’t sure which is why I put that.
Huh. I believe you, just not sure why we’re seeing different things. Maybe update/reset Ubluck Origin, especially if you’re having issues on other sites? I see the video, but it doesn’t autoplay or give for me. Maybe some kind of A/B testing…
i had to look up “dressage.” that it’s dumb and pointless doesn’t matter, but apparently it’s not possible without animal abuse? people are so fucking stupid
Arguably all Olympic sports are dumb and pointless and don’t matter.
I will accept my internet chastisement now.
i mean i agree, i don’t watch or follow a single sport, olympic or not.
but whipping animals for showing off stupid horse tricks just seems dumber and pointlesser to me…i say the same thing about dog shows, but at least i don’t hear about dogs being whipped for it
They’re also learning some fairly advanced engineering. So it’s fair from pointless
That crap shouldn’t be in the Olympics. Do the horses get the metal? Cause they’re the ones doing the impressive stuff.
Medal.
Oh no not dressage
The core issue with dressage is that they are putting the medal on the wrong neck. The horse is doing all of the work, they deserve all of the credit. Yes, being a dressage rider is (probably) hard work, but so is being a jokey or a wrestling coach. Also, all animal training facilities should automatically be on animal cruelty watch lists and subject to random inspections.
Good thing we have a ready replacement in the wings
That’s lucky. https://youtu.be/o-50GjySwew?feature=shared
If only I had the moves
Wtf
The scary part is that it’s totally real
Horses are such amazing creatures. Whipping them is equivalent to whipping children. This lady needs a good paddling.
Unless she likes it, then she shouldn’t get one
I can see why.
What does the article say? I’m on mobile and even with DNS Adblock all I get is a super loud Ford commercial that links me away from the article if I try to stop it.
I thought they removed the part with the horses since the pentathlon incident during the last olympics
I’m not sure it’s possible to remove the horses from the competitive horse dancing event.
I think synchronised horse swimming has been nixed already.
Ah my bad. I assumed it was that case. In pentathlon they get assigned a horse that they don’t know and need to perform more or less with a stranger. There was a case of an athlete whipping that horse like crazy last Olympic because it wouldn’t do what she wanted
This just reminded me that there’s an amusement park near where I grew up where back in like the twenties and '30s and stuff, the idea of entertainment was to force a horse to run up a giant ramp out above a lake, maybe 50 feet up and have it jump into the water as a high diving horse.
Horse diving, it’s still a thing just extremely uncommon and highly defended but the like 5 people that still do it.
Animals shouldn’t be part of any sport. Sports are for spoiled fucks anyway
God I hate people
Art, sports, leisure, entertainment all need to be banned. They distract the worker from his task of serving the people.
vwls r dcdnt!
Just looking at her puts a stain on her reputation, and the Olympics.
