As much as people like me and you think it would be an honor just to be in the olympics that's not the traditional way of thinking. I've gotten too cynical to believe that these athletes do it for this reason. But
( ... )
You know the real reason they're getting rid of baseball and softball, right? Because Europeans don't really play them. Never mind that North America, South America, Australia, and Asia all LOVE and play both... not good enough for a Euro-centric organization like the Olympic Committee.
Very true. I'm surpirsed that Europe hasn't submitted a dick sucking compitition for the 2012 olympics since they do it so well.
Sports to get rid of: Modern Pentathalon- first off i never new that this was a sport and i never knew it consisted of five sports that have like nothing to do with each other. Consists of five sports of shooting, running, swimming, horseback riding and fencing. What? It's the last two i don't get. Throw in cycling and giving the jonas bros a severe beating and I'm all for it.
Table tennis- It's intense, but you take one of our sports away... Plus, stop calling it table tennis, it's ping pong.
Trampoline- Give me a fucking break! Yes a lot of skill but boring and useless.
Any equestrian- Unless it's horse racing or rodeo it sucks.
Possible inclusions:
Lacrosse (yes I've said it like 20x's but it's fucking violent and exciting) Rugby Golf (I wouldn't mind it) Bowling and of course Dodge Ball

Trampoline is hella geigh, especially men's trampoline. I am opposed to golf in every way except miniature golf on principle that it's a racist boring sport founded by drunken, boring Scottish shepherds. I am intrigued by how passionate people are around the world about ping pong, so that doesn't bother me. Equestrian sports are tricky, I don't get the whole trotting competition, but I do think that steeplechase is cool. Making horses jump over shit = good. The modern pentathalon sounds retarded. I think that the Olympics should include skateboarding and free-running - you know the kind of running where people jump off walls and shit like an obstacle course? That would be bomb. The Olympics does indeed need some Schweet LAX, brah.

Golf i think more or less has shed its racist reputation since the number the one player in the world is ummmm what do you call them now, oh i'll just call a spade a spade. Plus women are now allowed to play in the pga. There is also a big asian and russian influx of players. Also i think most sports are created out of boredom or drunkenness, mute point on the drunken scotish sheep fuckers.
Sports with horses i don't really consider them sports. I understand a rider needs to control the animal and all that gobbly-gook but you're still riding a horse. I just think it's the animal that's doing most of the work and the medal is just feels kinda stupid.
Skateborading would be a nice event since i think snowboarding is in the winter.

I cannot imagine Olympic golf. There's enough golf on TV, really. And steeplechase has become the most dangerous sport in the world - more athletes and horses are injured every year than in any other sport. I think we should ditch it for the sake of the poor horsies. Dressage can go too just cuz it's like watching paint dry.
Not that I need to chime in, but I will anyway. Mr. The Way does have a point re: grammar / spelling. If you aren't going to run a spell check on your own stuff, no need to correct others' responses. Glass houses and all.

Far be it from me to ever take Sean's side on... anything, really... but the whole moot/mute thing is terribly annoying. Like your and you're, or there and their. It should be corrected EVERY TIME.
