This just in: four women's doubles badminton teams were ejected from the Olympics for intentionally losing. That is the most shocking thing I've ever heard. Badminton is an Olympic sport? What the hell?

"Kicked out for losing? They can do that? Oh, intentionally losing. In that case we're OK." Said the New York Mets. 

As a result of the badminton teams cheating, a suspicious cloud now appears over the other backyard-party-inspired sports like horseshoes, water balloon-tossing and the potato sack races.
