AFL Is A Sport, Taekwondo Is Not A Sport
Maybe add Mr Miyagi, Chuck Norris and have the people actually hit each other and it might be a real event.
These people dress up in all this padding, like the guy in the suit that went around annoying bears, and then they jump around and don't even try to hit the other person. Some judges then say who the winner is when time expires.
St Kilda ruckman Steven King is more dangerous contesting a hitout with his feet than these taekwondon't contestants are, and King isn't even trying to connect with anything but the football.
Anything with judges deciding the outcome is always going to be seen as suspicious. It could be figure skating, a custom car show, a cake baking competition or taekwondo, if the outcome is in the hands of nameless judges you are never really sure that the right person won. That sounds more like a popularity contest, not a sport.
