DDR is a videogame, not a sport.

What if chess was an Olympic sport?

What if I was an Olympic sport.

Doubtful. It's so dependant on technology and such, I doubt they'll ever consider it.

it would be cool, no doubt, since in my opinion the olympics mean almost nil anymore. you can argue the sanctity of the olympics all you want, but its just become a big marketing gimmick.

but it will never happen.

A marketing gimmick for countries to bring in tourists. Could you say money money?

I always used to think about that, and everybody thought I was stupid. At least I know I'm not the only stupid person here!

I'm going to have to say, no, it wouldn't be cool. Imagine a bunch of guys in leotards with stars and stripes on them, getting out there and doing DDR. It would suck. A national DDR league would suck too. In other words, I like DDR the way it is: underground (more or less).

I don't think it would work at all. There's a limit on everything on DDR, unlike all the olympic sports. Once you hit that limit, you're stuck. Once -everyone- hits that limit (which would happen after a few years with DDR being in the olympics), it's no longer competitive, and is thus no longer a sport.
