With the 2024 Summer Olympics approaching, the conversation about the future of the Games is heating up. This year, a new concept called the "alternative Games" has gained traction, featuring sports not included in the traditional Olympics, like esports and skateboarding.

Traditionalists vs. Innovators: Supporters of the traditional Olympics value the long history, prestige, and focus on athletic excellence. They argue these elements are essential for maintaining the spirit of the Games. However, proponents of the alternative Games believe they cater to a younger audience and reflect the evolving landscape of sports.

Should the Olympics embrace new sports like esports and skateboarding? Why or why not?

I'm all for the Olympics adding esports and skateboarding! It would definitely bring in more viewers, especially younger folks ..The Olympics gotta stay relevant, you know?
