PARIS — Snoop Dogg isn’t the only one looking forward to breaking’s debut at the Olympics this year. Unfortunately for the darling of the Paris Games, he won’t get to see the sport in 2028 when the Summer Games land in Los Angeles, his home city.

The inclusion of sports such as breaking are part of a flexible process to align with the goals of each host city’s organizing committee, which “proposes events that it feels are fit their vision for their specific edition of the Games,” an IOC spokesman said in an email.

Instead, Los Angeles selected cricket, flag football, lacrosse, squash and baseball/softball. In addition to breaking, karate, motorsport and kickboxing were rejected.

WHY WOULD LA SELECT INDIAN ASS CRICKET
BUT REJECT KARATE AND KICKBOXING?

The 25 and under breakers have an easy advantage cuz they could do flips and shyt which are easy crowd pleasers

They should never lose to the old guys
