Olympic protests keep breakdancers grounded
April 14, 2008
DURHAM -- Recent protests over the Olympics have sidelined a planned trip to Beijing for [Canadian] break dancers.

Just thought I would add this as an update to my earlier post. I guess break dancing is a "pre-Olympic" sport now. I wonder, will it ever be accepted as a true Olympic sport like snowboarding has been? Or would that kind of mainstream attention morph break dancing culture into something so commercial that it would alienate some of the people who are drawn to it in the first place (like skateboarding)?
