They don't call it pole dancing, they call it "pole fitness", which is even more punworthy if you ask me. A group of women in Salt Lake City (meaning Mormons) want to make pole fitness into an Olympic sport. Good luck with that.
They say they do it for fitness. They say they don't take their clothes off. They say those 6-inch heels are for working on their calf muscles. Alrighty then. If a blow job can be art, than pole dancing can be a sport.
The petition for the Olympic committee has only 300 signatures so far, but just think of the TV audience an event like this will draw. Alas, I do not have an online link for your signature. See a video report on pole fitness at Sports by Brooks.

Another reason for us to bomb ourselves before someone else gets a chance. Just because they're petitioning in Utah doesn't make it something we should be afraid of tearing to shreds. Oh, Jesus shitboxing Christ! It almost makes me hope I accidentally cross the wires while I'm soldering this thing together.
"A group of women in Salt Lake City (meaning Mormons)". SLC may have a lot of Mormons but not everyone there is one. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
That's true and logical, but according to the linked article, this is a group of Mormon women.
Now what can you do when your daughter is asked, what do you want to be when you grow? And her response is a stripper! Next it's going to be a extra curriculum course in high school and college, I'm sure they'll offer different levels of fitness
If you're seriously still thinking that this is some sort of joke, or haven't been properly educated regarding the 'sport' of Pole Dancing as it currently stands…you should be. Especially before commenting on anything related to the issue. Pole Dancing is actually a worldwide competitive sport-for both men and women. There are governing bodies working to standardize the language, moves, levels of tricks, etc. as the sport works it's way through the steps to become an Olympic Sport-which it inevitably will be at some point. There's no way around that. If you've really tried it-you know this! Get fully educated and check out the actual step-by-step proclamation FROM the OLYMPIC COMMITTEE on how the sport will get ready for Olympic Status at the following links. Time to leave the 'stripper' stereotype behind people-it's long gone!
