Tired of staring into the void? Instead, we offer you visions of glory. You may have been mediocre all your life—lacking physical prowess, a high IQ, social charm, etc.—but you still have something: eyes.

That’s why we believe you have what it takes for the 2022 Brooklyn Eyelympics, the ultimate professionally-refereed staring contest. Stop watching life pass you by and stare other humans into submission. If you break all the competition with your steely gaze, you’ll win a shiny gold medal and the prestige you so crave.

Live sports commentary and halftime show by the infamous Brooklyn queens and staring consultants MISTY MEANER & MOCHA LITE.
