What olympic sports should go before softball?

What's on your mind?

by anonlooker » Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:26 pm

Leave all the sports, as each has it's fan base just as rabid as softball fans.

The very idea that sports can / should be dropped from the Olympics is the basis for softball being gone. Whoever came up with that idea is a knucklehead.

If anything, drop the Opening Ceremonies. Every host city is compelled to outdo the previous host, resulting in outlandish extravaganzas that cost more than it would cost to immunize hundreds of thousands of children against curable diseases.

If London really wanted to put on a show, they would fill Wembley with 75,000 kids whose lives they saved and have them sing "Joy to the World". :)

Beach Volleyball needs to stay too. Especially any match featuring the Brazillian team. Don't press me to choose between Brazillian Beach Volleyball and Softball.... :P

Really...all you MEN and the Vollyball subject :D

How about we make a deal...
The GUYS have to play topless to make it more interesting for us girls.

Just kidding...I am sure that there's some really important advantage that the girls vollyball teams get from wearing either really tiny shorts or really tiny bathing suits.

Yes, it's called attendance and TV viewers, which translates to sponsors and a pretty nice lifestyle.

Are you guys saying that, after winning the Gold Medal, Bustos removing her uniform jersey and running around the field will stamp the word "Sexy" on the US Softball Team and therefore, secure softball's status as an Olympic sport?????

Redacted for stupidity, so there was nothing left. :oops:

And alas, a bit presumptuous, eh Sam? :shock:

Let's get the Olympics back to its very foundation and eliminate ALL team sports and even team medals in the individual sports. In fact, no medals at all - just olive branches. And, every athlete competes in the nude, just like the ancient Greeks did. Plus, bring back the sacrifices to Zeus in place of the opening ceremonies. :shock:

Get rid of Row, or Sculling, or whatever they call it. And, while they're at it, Bicycling can go also.
I'd rather watch paint dry.
