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.
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...
Then you have it configured wrong.

Got it. Wasn’t sure which is why I put that.
Animals shouldn't be part of any sport. Sports are for spoiled fucks anyway
God I hate people
Animals shouldn't be part of any sport.
cool
Sports are for spoiled fucks anyway
unhinged
I don't agree that sports are for spoiled fucks, but dressage definitely is. The barrier to entry makes golf look egalitarian.
The barrier to entry
to be fair, this barrier mostly comes from the necessity to involve a horse in the routine, so if the olympics starts allowing pantomime horses as a replacement we're in business
You mean a dude following someone around with a coconut?
I would actually watch dressage if it only had pantomime horses.
Or other animals. I don't see why you can't bring any animal you want to the animal dance. Yeah sure like maybe an alligator won't make a very good dancer, but why would somebody bring a partner that has no chance of winning?

Art, sports, leisure, entertainment all need to be banned. They distract the worker from his task of serving the people.
It's amazing that people seem to be taking this comment literally
Always hard to tell if they don't know it's a joke or they just find the joke unfunny. I've had much worse lately.
vwls r dcdnt!

Eh, I don't agree. Sports are a good way for people to get exercise and recreation time in, which are vital for mental and physical health. There are definitely ways to incorporate animals into sports that the animals enjoy and is also good for their mental and physical well-being. We just need to collectively stop being shitty stewards of our animal companions.
Sports for fun cool
Sports for money awful
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
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.
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.
Just looking at her puts a stain on her reputation, and the Olympics.

Robotics.
They’re also learning some fairly advanced engineering. So it’s fair from pointless
Oh no not dressage
That crap shouldn’t be in the Olympics. Do the horses get the metal? Cause they’re the ones doing the impressive stuff.
Medal.
Good thing we have a ready replacement in the wings
